On August 10, Celltrion announced that it held the launch ceremony for the bio bootcamp 'Cell-In' at the Incheon Songdo Pharmaceutical and Bio Convergence Research Center and has started offering training.

Cell-In is a program that offers basic bioindustry education, field experience, and employment support to young job seekers who are interested in the bioindustry but have lacked opportunities to gain relevant work experience and build competencies.

Trainees were selected among unemployed youth aged 18 to 34 through a document screening, artificial intelligence (AI) competency test, and interview. Applicants could participate regardless of their academic major.

The program runs for about three months until October 23, with classes eight hours a day, five days a week. From weeks 1 to 4 and 9 to 11, theoretical education and projects will be held in Songdo; during weeks 5 to 8, specialized training and field practice will take place in Siheung. The curriculum also includes university-industry collaboration courses such as Seoul National University’s virtual reality (VR) training, a Sartorius project, and Yonsei University's K-NIBRT (Korean National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training) program.

All training costs are fully covered and a total training allowance of KRW 300,000 per person will be provided during the training period. In addition to lending training laptops, Celltrion will offer personalized employment support, including one-on-one career consulting, mock interviews, self-introduction writing, and portfolio creation.

A Celltrion official stated, "We hope this will serve as an opportunity for young people interested in the bioindustry but lacking opportunities to gain practical skills and take their first step toward independence."
