The Bayer Hemophilia Leadership Development Program was created by Bayer together with hemophilia advocacy organizations, health care professional thought-leaders, and other community advocates to help prepare future leaders in the hemophilia community. For years, Bayer has offered motivated, young individuals with a tie to hemophilia an eight-week, paid internship. The internship included a variety of hands-on modules designed to sharpen leadership skills. The program gave interns an opportunity to apply these skills in a real-world corporate setting through a variety of independent projects, which were designed to be engaging and thought-provoking. These experiences helped the interns grow personally and professionally.
The 2012 BHLDP pilot now includes the hemophilia organizations listed above—which provides the program with unique opportunities for selected interns to build foundational leadership skills, while also deepening their connection to the local hemophilia community.
The 2012 program will kick-off in June with a two-week orientation at Bayer headquarters in Wayne, New Jersey, where selected interns will:
- Participate in formal training on communication skills, effective problem solving, leadership, and compliance
- Spend time working with mentors within Bayer to gain insights into the inner workings of the various corporate departments—emphasizing the importance of collaboration
After completing their two-week initiation and training, interns will travel to spend the next five weeks at one of the four local hemophilia organizations mentioned above. Here the interns will:
- Learn about the work done on a local level to support the hemophilia community
- Engage in hands-on projects that will build on the skills they developed during the first two weeks of the program
The program will conclude with a final week at Bayer's headquarters where the selected interns will provide a final report and consult with Bayer on the continued growth of this program in 2013.
This is a paid, eight-week internship program (Monday, June 18 through Thursday, August 9, 2012). During their time at Bayer's headquarters, housing and related expenses incurred during travel will be paid for by Bayer. While interning at the hemophilia organizations, each intern will be responsible for his/her own transportation and housing.
Watch as intern alumni share their own experiences and lessons in leadership from previous years.
