VCCC Alliance Annual Report 2019-20
The VCCC Alliance Annual Report 2019-20 highlights the breadth, diversity, and significance of the Alliance's work, the potential for future growth, and the impact on the Victorian community.
Expanding Victoria’s clinical trial activity calls for a highly trained workforce, capable of meeting increasing demand. The VCCC Alliance Development of Clinical Trials Workforce Capacity and Capability Program, has established internships, in partnership with the Parkville Cancer Clinical Trials Unit.
The clinical trial internships provide both theoretical and hands-on learning for two positions of high demand, increasing employability and providing opportunities within the sector.
Expressions of interest are now open for clinical trial units Victoria-wide looking to bolster their capacity through this cutting-edge internship program. To register your interest, please complete the EOI Host Site form and send to Rachel Barrett, SKILLED Internship Coordinator on rachel.barrett@unimelb.edu.au, no later than COB Thursday 8 July 2021.
The SKILLED internship program provides a pathway for students to build role-specific clinical trial knowledge, experience and skills in a clinical trials unit. Interns will gain on-site training with VCCC Alliance members and collaborators in metro and regional locations.
Positions for the 2022 SKILLED Internship Program will be advertised around September this year, and all eligible candidates are encouraged to apply via our website.
