Mark English, VP Packaging & Logistics at Almac Pharma Services, said, “The Institute for Fiscal Studies reported that young workers today would be hit hardest by the pandemic with regards to unemployment and job prospects. We are pleased, particularly in the current climate, to be recruiting for STEM roles that would be suited to school leavers or young adults who are qualified with relevant A-Levels or BTECs.
“At Almac, we are passionate about mentoring our junior employees to highlight the possibilities that come with their skillset and developing those skills to unlock potential progression and growth. We look forward to welcoming our new colleagues to help us advance human health together.”
