In partnering with the Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS), JLWCoP and CPS now tout a successful Pharmacy Technician Program. The program not only provides students with standardized training that meets state requirements to practice as a pharmacy technician, but prepares them for any state or national certification exam.
On Sept. 12, 2022, the CPS Pharmacy Technician Program became state approved and students can now enroll in a state-approved pharmacy technician program at 17 years of age instead of waiting until they are 18.
The program requires the goal-oriented students to work in actual pharmacies under a preceptor’s guidance for 160 hours (two 8-hour shifts pre week) for 10 weeks. Partners who pay and support the students as they work toward this requirement are:
-
Kroger Co. KHC*
- Kroger pharmacies
-
University of Cincinnati Medical Center*
- Mercy Health (Jewish Hospital)
*(Will accept students at 17 years of age)
Graduating high school seniors planning to complete the work requirements this summer include five students submitted to work at Jewish Hospital, three at Kroger stores, one student at UC Hospital and two students working at Kroger KHC – 16 hours a week.
