Recent years have seen an increasing shortage of SAS-trained programmers with the necessary life sciences background. SAS, the leader in business intelligence software and services, and SRG, the UK’s premier life sciences recruitment organisation, have joined forces to address that challenge with the foundation of the SAS Life Sciences Academy.

Designed for graduates wishing to fast track a career in SAS programming in the pharmaceutical industry, the award winning SAS Life Sciences Academy provides bespoke SAS training, delivered through a unique combination of classroom training, self-study, scenario workgroups, mentoring, coaching and certification.

The Academy’s exciting and innovative educational techniques enable graduates to acquire the skills they need to succeed, and to obtain, via SRG placement services, guaranteed positions in the pharmaceutical industry. “SAS is perfectly placed to deliver”, says Nick Houlton, Head of Customer Services – Education & Support. “We have a long-standing relationship with the life sciences industry dating back to the start of our operations thirty years ago. We understand how software is used in the industry and the vital role of lifelong training. Working with SRG and their expertise in graduate selection and placement makes for an exceptionally powerful partnership.”

Off to a flying start

The SAS Life Sciences Academy is a great opportunity for graduates and a unique source of future employees for the life sciences industry. The Academy course, for which no specific software or industry experience is necessary, offers graduates a solid and broad-based foundation for their future careers:

• Four weeks intensive residential training

• Tuition by SAS and life science industry experts
