These industries produce among other cosmetics, textiles, metal, oils, plastics, cleaning products, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals or analyze samples from living organisms, the environment, forensics, and manufacturing. Of course, laboratory technicians conduct research for the private sector, government, universities and non-profit institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading-separator\" id=\"h-why-are-we-offering-this-program\"><strong>Why are we offering this program?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Wisconsin, especially the metropolitan area of Milwaukee, is home to many industries that hire laboratory technicians. Usually, they are looking for employees that have numerical skills, enjoy working in a team, can closely follow protocols and procedures, have good hand to eye coordination, excel in an organized work environment, have good time management skills, can keep written records, are good with operating laboratory equipment, and can have good problem-solving skills. We understand that these skills are not usually taught in high school. Therefore, we offer a program that will teach you specifically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>General STEM knowledge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basic Laboratory skills and procedures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industry-specific skills and procedures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"695\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/drug-discovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/390\/2024\/01\/ven-diagram.jpg\" alt=\"Venn diagram showing Laboratory Technician skills across Chemistry, Healthcare, Food Industry, and Environment sectors\" class=\"wp-image-1283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/drug-discovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/390\/2024\/01\/ven-diagram.jpg 750w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/drug-discovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/390\/2024\/01\/ven-diagram-300x278.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"has-alpha-channel-opacity uwm-c-hr--thick uwm-u-my-80\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading-separator\" id=\"h-how-can-i-find-employment-after-completion-of-this-program\"><strong>How can I find employment after completion of this program?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are working with number of industry partners that have been instrumental to tailor this program to their needs of a future employee.
