Packaging Supervisor job outlook: Expert opinions

Bioethics Institute
What type of skills will young Packaging Supervisors need?
Dr. Gianna McMillan: They will need to have computer skills and be willing to adapt creatively to work remotely. Bioethics is a changing field with three main categories: medical ethics, public health ethics, and research ethics. Young graduates will need to be up to date in all three areas since they overlap, but with particular attention to their field of interest. The legal landscape continues to evolve, in all areas, and is different from state to state, so basic knowledge of current issues is needed. I tell my students they might have to do some things for free to prove their commitment and skill set. Volunteering and unpaid internships are a great way to build a resume and network within the field. Creativity is important. Sometimes a couple of hours of service at a local health clinic or writing for a blog can turn into a job or generate ideas for where bioethics is needed.
