A highly successful college internship program has been in existence at Roche Palo Alto for many years. Our full-time ten-week internship program provides an opportunity for undergraduate juniors and seniors to gain hands-on experience in a focused, highly productive setting. Internships have been offered in Biology, Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, Analytical Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmacology and Genetics/Genomics. Working under the guidance of a Roche mentor, interns are assigned significant cutting-edge projects in their field of study. Interns are given full support in pursuit of their projects and conclude the internship with a formal presentation of their results. During the program, interns participate in seminars, tours and social events, as well as enjoy on-campus amenities such as the cafeteria and coffee bar.
Approximately one-third of the individuals who participate in this internship program have returned to the company as regular employees after graduation.
