Return-to-Work | Healthcare, BioTECH, and Pharma
- 3 minutes ago
- 4 min read
Healthcare, BioTECH, and Pharma are expanding at an unprecedented pace. Innovation, research, patient-centered care, and regulatory complexity are reshaping these industries and driving demand for skilled, experienced professionals who can adapt quickly and lead with purpose.
At the same time, a powerful segment of the workforce remains underutilized. Professionals with strong credentials and years of experience are ready to return after time spent caregiving, yet they are often overlooked by traditional hiring systems.
The Return-to-Work | Healthcare, BioTECH, and Pharma event, part of Untapped Potential’s signature Return-to-Work Industry-Focused Series, exists to close that gap. This virtual session creates a focused, efficient environment where forward-thinking industry leaders meet top return-to-work talent and explore real workforce needs together.
Why This Event Matters Now
Healthcare, BioTECH, and Pharma are evolving. From digital health and biopharmaceutical innovation to patient access and compliance, organizations need professionals who bring both technical expertise and human-centered skills.
Untapped Potential recognizes that return-to-work professionals offer exactly that combination. Alongside degrees and 5 to 7 years of professional experience, candidates bring empathy, resilience, leadership, and advanced multitasking skills honed through caregiving.
This event is designed to help industries tap into that hidden talent while giving returning professionals meaningful access to employers who value non-linear career paths.
This is for YOU ...
This session is intentionally designed for two groups who benefit most from direct connection - our forward-thinking industry professionals and our stellar talent.
It is for women returning to work after caregiving who want to re-engage with fast-growing healthcare, BioTECH, and pharmaceutical fields.
It is also for professionals pivoting into adjacent roles where their skills translate across research, operations, analytics, compliance, marketing, and leadership.
It is for industry leaders and employers who want an efficient, relationship-driven way to meet experienced talent while learning how return-to-work pathways support long-term workforce development.
If you are seeking alignment rather than volume hiring, and if you value skills, readiness, and cultural contribution, consider attending.
What Industry Leaders Will Share
The session begins with insights directly from leaders in Healthcare, BioTECH, and Pharma. Participating organizations will introduce their companies and explain why their industry is considered a high-growth, high-impact space.
Industry leaders will share:
Drivers of growth shaping their organizations
Typical and emerging skill needs
Roles that are currently in demand
Opportunities for advancement and internal mobility
Cultural values that support engagement and retention
This transparency helps returning professionals understand where their experience fits and how to position themselves for success.
How the Event Is Structured
Following company introductions, the session moves into facilitated breakout rooms. These one-on-one meetups allow industry participants and return-to-work candidates to engage directly, ask questions, and explore alignment in a focused setting.
For employers, this means meeting pre-identified, motivated talent without the friction of applicant tracking systems. For candidates, it means visibility, conversation, and the opportunity to let skills and experience shine.
Supporting Returners Beyond the Resume
Career gaps due to caregiving are often misunderstood. Untapped Potential reframes them as periods of skill development that strengthen leadership, communication, and problem-solving.
Through our three-prong process, Untapped Potential works year-round to identify and prepare professionals who are ready to add value in flexible and impactful ways. This event is one component of a larger ecosystem that supports confidence rebuilding, skill reframing, and professional identity renewal.
