Pharmacy technicians are not limited to only working in your "traditional" pharmacy setting. Technicians also work in many other fields such as, home health care, nuclear medicine pharmacies, federal and state jail pharmacies, mail order pharmacies, medical insurance companies, medical computer software companies, and drug manufacturing companies. Pharmacy technicians work in a variety of health care settings such as hospitals, retail, long term care facilities, home health care agencies, clinic pharmacies, mail order pharmacies and drug wholesalers. The job prospects for pharmacy technicians are excellent. Salaries and benefits vary according to experience, ability, geographic location and type of pharmacy practice. Completion of the program does not guarantee employment. This 15-week program takes a very practical approach to pharmacy training, and is designed to prepare students for work in one of many pharmacy settings in a short period of time. The program is excellent for recent high school graduates, college students, ex-healthcare workers, those looking for a career change, and any one who wants entry into the pharmacy or health fields.

This FREE 6 session class is for people wishing to start a small business. It provides basic business training and technical assistance combined with access to loans for start-up costs, equipment or expansion, all in a group lending environment. Following the training and certification process the class forms into small groups of business owners or soon-to-be business owners, each interested in accessing loan money and support for their own business. In a Group Lending Environment, the group members assess and approve each other's loan requests. Loan approval is based on the confidence fellow group members have in each other's commitment, resourcefulness and ability to repay. Few of the traditional requirements to secure the loan are needed. Lack of assets or a weak credit history will not necessarily prevent your access to business credit in this program. Loan amounts range from $500 to $8,000.
