Want a Career in Chemistry or Biochemistry, but Need “Hands-On Experience” on Your Resume? We’ve Got Your Back!
ING-BP Program Overview
The Industry, National, and Government Laboratory Postbaccalaureate Bridge Program (ING-BP) is a two-year, credentialed bridge experience aimed at students from underrepresented/minoritized (URM) groups* in STEM interested in employment in the Chemical and/or Biochemical Sciences. The ING-BP is a first-of-its-kind program integrating culturally responsive practices into hands-on training opportunities in advanced internships in the chemical industry or national or government laboratories. The goal of this structure
is to allow students the space to fully engage, relax into their STEM identity, focus, and thrive while getting high-quality, rigorous preparation for launching into a technical career.
