Walmart Pharmacy Signs Placement Agreement With Anderson College, Mississauga Campus

Walmart Pharmacy Signs Placement Agreement With Anderson College, Mississauga Campus

Some great news ahead for Pharmacy Technician students! Walmart Pharmacy just signed a placement agreement with Anderson College.

Placements are an essential part of the Pharmacy Technician’s training. Our students must complete three placements during the program, in each of the following fields: Community Pharmacy, Hospital Pharmacy and Long Term Care Pharmacy. Having a placement agreement with Walmart will be a great help to our current and future students since it means that we will be able to send them to Walmart Pharmacies all over Ontario.

This contract is also one of a kind as this is the first time that we are signing an agreement with a community pharmacy! It is a great accomplishment for our College since we are one of few colleges in Ontario to have a placement agreement with Walmart Pharmacy.

Anderson College students will benefit in many ways from placements at Walmart Pharmacy, not only in terms of practical experience but also for their employment prospects.

We are very proud of this great step for our Pharmacy Technician program and cannot wait to share our students’ experience!
