CareerLabs, Bengaluru-based EdTech startup, has announced a brand new industry certification programme for chemical engineers in partnership with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories.

The partnership aims at opening up avenues for students to pursue highly rewarding careers in the pharmaceutical industry and concurrently meeting the ever-increasing demand for chemical engineers to cater to the need of the hour with relevant skill development.

The new chemical engineering certification programme will be launched with select students across India, who will be chosen through a scholarship test administered at various colleges across the country.

Towards the end of the pilot programme, successful students will be given the opportunity to pursue an internship and also be considered for possible pre-placement offers at Dr. Reddy’s in Hyderabad.

Chemical engineering is a field that is intertwined with a spectrum of industries and chemical engineers are highly in demand due to the versatility of their expertise. From conceptualisation and design of processes, to experimentation, to implementation; chemical engineers are required at every step of the way. The global COVID-19 pandemic further reinforced the importance of the pharmaceutical industry and chemical engineering.
