Early Career Training Strategy

FIP Development Goal 2 Education & Workforce Element
Globally, we will have:
Engagement with pharmaceutical higher Foundation training infrastructures in place for the early post-registration (post-licensing) years of the pharmaceutical workforce as a basis for consolidating initial education and training and progressing the novice workforce towards advanced practice.
Mechanisms
- Create clear and purposeful education and training pathways/ programmes to support post-registration (post-graduation) foundation training (clinical practice and pharmaceutical science areas).
- Develop early career maps and frameworks to support a seamless transition into early career practice and towards advanced practice.
- Develop structured approaches to early career mentoring systems to support novice practitioners to engage with peers and preceptors (including clinical practice and pharmaceutical science areas across the pharmaceutical workforce).
- Using data and evidence to support investment in early career training

FIP Development Goal 2 Practice Element
Globally, we will have:
Training strategy and infrastructures providing structured journeys for early career pharmacy practitioners including and pharmacy support workers linked towards advanced practice and specialisation frameworks and professional recognition and certification.
Mechanisms
- Develop structured opportunities for in-practice early-career training.
- Provide career and mentorship support for early career practitioners.
- Provide appropriate conditions for reconciling early-career practice and personal circumstances with education and training pathways/ programmes.
- Provide appropriate incentives, recognition and certification of practice development.

FIP Development Goal 2 Science Element
Globally, we will have:
Education and training of graduate/post-graduate students and early career pharmaceutical scientists to advance their skills in basic, translational, clinical, and regulatory sciences.
Mechanisms
- Develop mentoring programmes that connect trainees and early career pharmaceutical scientists to qualified mentors with experience in academia, industry and regulatory bodies.
- Establish dedicated discussion forums for trainees and early career scientists to facilitate networking and professional development opportunities.
