The GOLD Program Experience
Vishnu
- Health Sciences/Pharmaceutical Sciences graduate
- 2010 graduate from Catalent's GOLD program
"The experience I have gained through my three GOLD rotations has given me knowledge in the areas of quality, manufacturing, packaging, project management and operational excellence. Through networking and mentoring by senior leadership, I gained invaluable insights about the pharmaceutical industry and career paths. This fast-paced program has developed my understanding of various management styles and how to execute in different environments, which has helped me tremendously in my current Project Manager role."
Shari
- Biomedical Engineering
- 2010 graduate from Catalent's GOLD program
"I had a broad range of experiences in the GOLD program. My rotations provided both the corporate and manufacturing perspectives which is critical to understanding business as a whole. I first worked in Global Procurement finding a global supplier to recycle our electronic equipment. Later, I worked in Technical Services at a manufacturing plan, investigating the source of product defects and designing and executing studies to further supplement the root cause analysis. My final rotation, Production Supervisor, developed my leadership skills and taughtme about another manufacturing plant. These experiences have prepared me for my technical and customer interactions through my Process Engineer role, and career at Catalent."

We foster innovative thinking that challenges our leaders to achieve their highest potential and accelerate their leadership development." - Steve Leonard, Senior Vice President - Global Operations, Catalent Pharma Solutions |
