Biotechnology Entrepreneurship Special Training (BEST) Programme

It has been a month since I joined BEST programme. Biotechnology Entrepreneurship Special Training Programme (BEST) is organized by Biotech Corporation. BeST is a 6-month intensive and structured retooling programme for graduates from all disciplines, wishing to enter the biotechnology industry and other related industries in general. There is 3 months in class activities and 3 months internship programme.


For 3 months in class activities, we will learn about communication skills, technical skills and entrepreneurship. For this first month, we were taught about the soft skills and communication skills that we have to have in order for us to get the job that we want. We’ve been specially trained for a month by the BEST trainee.

We were divided into 9 groups named E. COOL, PRODIGY, MC BIO, BIOSELF, SUPER SYNERGY, XX POWER, PECAH MENTAL, CHIMERA and FUTURA. Many of us came from pure biology, biotechnology, biomedical and engineering field.

We have learned on how to be a good speaker in public speaking session. The mock interview session also has given us a lot of skills in answering the interview questions. Even though it was a very short interview, but we learned a lot of things from the trainer. Negotiation and leadership skills were very important aspects when we are going to enter a company. Today we learned on how to do the negotiation skills by Mr Hisyam Karim. He is a very great and cool public speaker.

Next week, on Tuesday, we will have our final presentation. My group, E. cOOL, are going to present about our project which is about a phyto-mix yogurt which can help to lower the sugar level for patients who suffered from diabetic problems. All The Best to all of the groups!!! =)
