Meijer is sponsoring the pharmacy technician adult career training program at the West Michigan Center for Arts + Technology in an effort to recruit well-trained graduates for placement in its pharmacies throughout West Michigan.
The investment also strengthens the retailer’s commitment to continued education and partnership with WMCAT that offers fully-funded training in growing fields to under and unemployed adults, said Karen Mankowski, vice president of pharmacy operations for the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer.
“Our goal is to provide the best service to our Meijer pharmacy customers, which truly starts with having the right people in those roles,” Mankowski said. “The need for pharmacy technicians is growing tremendously, and our partnership with WMCAT will enable us to bolster our pharmacy staff so they can build patient relationships to better manage their health care needs.”
