Enhance Your English Skills in the Pharmaceutical Industry with Mission: English

Aoba-BBT, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has recently unveiled a focused online English program called Mission: English for Pharma. This program aims to develop effective English communication skills tailored for the pharmaceutical industry, addressing the specific challenges faced by professionals in this field.

The Need for English Proficiency in Pharma

In today’s global pharmaceutical landscape, effective communication in English is paramount. Professionals often need to engage in product proposals, clinical trial preparations, and international collaborative research. However, traditional language training often fails to equip workers with the necessary skills for real-world applications, leading many companies to struggle with workforce development.

Recognizing this gap, Aoba-BBT has developed two specialized modules: Sales & Marketing and R&D, designed to cultivate immediately applicable English skills through a curriculum based on practical industry challenges.

Sales & Marketing Module

The Sales & Marketing segment of the program focuses on critical themes such as:

• - Competitive Analysis and Brand Strategy Rebuilding: Participants will learn how to identify market competition and position their products effectively.
• - Product Proposals and Promotion to Healthcare Professionals: The curriculum will help learners design impactful marketing strategies while effectively communicating with medical professionals.
• - Ethics and Regulatory Compliance in Marketing: This section emphasizes the importance of adhering to ethical guidelines and regulations in all marketing efforts.

R&D Module

The R&D component addresses essential skills such as:

• - Formulation Design and Clinical Trial Readiness: Participants will gain insights into the processes required for drug development and clinical testing.
• - Collaboration and Problem-Solving in International Research: This part of the program prepares learners to navigate and resolve challenges in global research settings.
• - Advancing Research in Multicultural Environments: As pharmaceuticals often require input from diverse teams, this module focuses on effective communication across cultures.
