BiHilo

BiHilo runs the BiHilo Academy, a structured training path aimed at graduates in biology, biotechnology, pharmacy, pharmaceutical chemistry, biomedical engineering and the health professions who want to move from academic research into a commercial medical-device or pharmaceutical employer. The premise is that these companies hire constantly but rarely advertise roles in a way graduates can decode, so the program teaches the sector vocabulary, the organisational map and the commercial expectations recruiters screen for.

The curriculum is delivered as 12 online modules covering areas such as company structure and roles, sales, regulatory affairs, quality and GMP/ISO 13485, tenders with public bodies, medical affairs and MSL work, product and application specialist duties, marketing and CRM. Each student is assigned a tutor who runs individual calls roughly every fortnight, works through practical hard- and soft-skill exercises, and helps narrow down which of the sector's roles actually fits the student's personality and strengths. Enrollment is deliberately capped, with the tutor taking around ten active students at a time.

The course finishes with employability work: CV and LinkedIn optimisation, interview simulations with a career coach, and access to mentors who currently work at companies such as Menarini, Roche, Orthofix, J&J and Bristol Myers Squibb. The site lists an entry-level salary range of roughly 26-45k EUR for medical-sector roles in Italy. Pricing is not published — prospective students book a free 30-minute call with the team to discuss the training packages.
