Redefining STEM futures for students

By showing what biotech offers, high school teachers can bring a new perspective to the classroom. Thanks to initiatives like these, students can take a professional journey less traveled, one that can change patient lives through meaningful work.

A long-term career can feel abstract, especially in high school. However, students interested in joining the workforce right after graduation have opportunities to start their careers right away on our team. Here, regardless of their background, new team members will enter a supportive environment prepared to train them for success.

Many teachers were especially excited about how students could start at Takeda and work their way up despite not having a college degree. Many Takeda employees, recognizing how their work can drive positive change, are then inspired to pursue higher education which opens up even more career opportunities within the company. By taking advantage of our education reimbursement, they can achieve more for themselves, and others, while continuing to move up within our organization.

"The guest panelists each brought a diverse perspective and came from unique backgrounds in their fields," another teacher shared. "This helps me better guide my students as they prepare for college."

By connecting with local communities, students and teachers can better understand what they can accomplish through work that makes a global impact, with a team that’s prepared to support them to their full potential.
