About The Position

African Bridge Network (ABN), in collaboration with the Mayor’s Office of Workforce Development (OWD), Commonwealth Corporation, Eastern Bank Foundation, and the Clowes Fund, has partnered with Boston Medical Center to host ABN fellows for a 12 week training and work-placement program in a Clinical Research Coordinator role. The ABN Fellowship is a training and work-placement program targeting foreign-trained professionals for the finance and healthcare fields. This 3-month fellowship is a direct effort to address the racial and economic barriers that skilled immigrants face in the U.S. labor market. The initiative seeks to place talented, diverse, and multilingual immigrant professionals from different regions of the world in a paid fellowship in a fast-paced work environment with financial, healthcare, or research employers. Through training and a 3-month fellowship, participants will gain the needed work experience to access jobs in their industry and advance their careers following the fellowship. Nature of the Fellowship Fellows will receive upskilled training for their respective track and six-week workforce readiness training hosted by ABN. The ultimate goal of the fellowship is to provide upskilled training and U.S. workplace experience in finance, research, or non-clinical positions in healthcare to enable them to advance their careers after the fellowship. The fellowship will either be in-person or hybrid. Clinical Research Coordinator Track Fellows with background or interested in careers in healthcare will receive a six-week workplace readiness training by ABN and complete a Research Coordinator training.
