52 Berkshire Community College Internships Blossom into Full-Time Positions at Berkshire Sterile Manufacturing

“The partnership between BCC and BSM is truly a perfect match. The MLSC Internship Challenge opens doors – and this is a very real example of how a private industry and college partnership can play a role in keeping STEM talent in the Berkshires.” − Gina Foley, assistant professor of life sciences This summer, three BCC students, including a current student and recent graduates, were part of a remarkable transformation. They interned at Berkshire Sterile Manu- facturing (BSM) in Lee and assisted the start-up, which provides the safest sterile drug products possible for clinical use and small scale requirements, as the company converted warehouse space into state-of-the-art clean rooms.
