Begin Your Pharmacy Technician Career at Oakton

Learn how to provide practical assistance for registered pharmacists at a free pharmacy technician information session at 6 p.m., at Oakton’s Skokie campus, 7701 North Lincoln Avenue, (Room C114). Pharmacy technicians work in drug stores, hospitals, community ambulatory care centers, home health care agencies, nursing homes, and the pharmaceutical industry. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, pharmacy technician professions are anticipated to rise by more than 22 percent from 2013 to 2018, much faster than the average for all occupations because of the growing number of middle-aged and elderly people expected to use prescription drugs.

Faculty will be on hand to discuss course requirements and industry trends.
