Business Talk: Biotech Training

With Rhode Island’s unemployment rate currently at 9.3 percent, more and more residents are looking to be trained in new careers.

At URI’s Feinstein campus in Providence, courses are available under the auspices of the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training that can train qualified individuals in this kind of work.
