Breaking Into Clinical Research: Overcoming the Experience Catch-22
Imagine this: you’re a STEM graduate with big dreams of breaking into clinical research. You’ve got the passion, the qualifications, and the hunger to make a difference. But every job listing requires prior industry experience—a catch-22 that seems impossible to overcome.
This isn’t just a hypothetical situation; it’s the reality faced by thousands of aspiring clinical researchers. It’s the very challenge that inspired Dr. Sue Nguyen, founder and CEO of Clueo Clinical to create our award-winning Industry-Bridging Program (IBP™)—a program not only designed to break down barriers but also to ensure long-lasting impact on both individuals and the industry as a whole.
The Industry-Bridging Solution for Aspiring Researchers
For those trying to enter clinical research, the IBP™ provides a lifeline. We bridge the gap between academic knowledge and industry readiness by delivering:
- Hands-On Role-specific Training: Industry-aligned training that is specific to each job role and responsibilities (not general knowledge), real-world case studies, and simulations ensure you’re fully prepared for day one on the job.
- Personalised Coaching: Our human-centred approach goes beyond helping you enter the clinical research industry. We nurture your unique strengths, equip you with essential skills, and empower you to thrive while fast-tracking your career progression.
- 1-on-1 Job Application Support: Partnering with top industry leaders, we provide personalised guidance to connect you with job opportunities that transform your passion for clinical research into a rewarding career.
This program is more than a gateway to employment; it’s about equipping you with the tools, confidence, and clarity to build a rewarding career in clinical research.
People at the Heart of Everything We Do
At Clueo Clinical, we see more than just resumes; we see the future of clinical research in every participant. You’re not a number to us—you’re a future leader shaping tomorrow’s innovations.
Our IBP™ is designed as a partnership for your success:

At Clueo Clinical, we believe that innovation is not just about developing new drugs or devices; it’s about solving the workforce challenges that hold back progress. One of the most pressing challenges in the clinical research industry is the gap between academic qualifications and the practical skills required to succeed on the job.
