Gatlin Education Services has reached a nationwide agreement with Walgreens Pharmacy that will give our Pharmacy Technician students an important leg up in the job market. Walgreens will offer its renowned externship program to students taking Gatlin's Pharmacy Technician online career training program provided basic qualifications are met.
Walgreens will supply externs with 20 to 40 hours of hands-on experience that includes assisting pharmacists with prescriptions, answering patient questions about medications and a bevy of administrative duties. Approximately ninety percent of Walgreens externs gain employment with the pharmacy chain following completion of the program.
In order to qualify for a Walgreens Externship, you will have to pass a drug screening, obtain general liability insurance, and background check/employment verification will be required. Registration for the externship program is available once a month.
*Disclaimer: An externship with Walgreens is not guaranteed. All students must apply to the program and complete the prerequisite criteria before being accepted into the program. Positions in the externship program are contingent on availability at each Walgreens location. Students are also allowed the option to set up their own externship at any other retail or hospital facility or you may complete a research assignment in lieu of completing an externship.

"The online format allowed me to study to be a Pharmacy Technician while being employed, and also to work on the course at my own pace. I appreciate this as I live three hours away from any campus that offered this course."
