WEST COLUMIBA, S.C., March 13,
2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Nephron Pharmaceuticals
Corporation (Nephron) is announcing their partnership with
Apprenticeship Carolina, a division of the SC Technical College
System dedicated to increasing the awareness and use of registered
apprenticeships in South
Carolina.
The program provides nine Nephron employees the opportunity to
earn a Community Pharmacy Technician certificate at Midlands Technical College (MTC). The MTC Pharmacy
Technician program teaches students proper pharmacy operations
under the supervision of registered pharmacists, and combines
classroom, online and experiential learning into a well-balanced
program of study. Participants will receive a paid-for education
while continuing to work, allowing them to earn money and gather
on-the-job training and knowledge.
"We are so thrilled to give our employees the opportunity to go
back to school and earn a certification while still working at
Nephron," said Lou Kennedy, CEO at
Nephron. "We are always excited to partner with our friends at
Midlands Tech. This is how we make it
happen."
The first nine apprentices will launch the pilot program;
however the company will select additional employees to participate
in the future. The classes and degrees offered will also expand
over time.
Nephron became registered with the United States Department of
Labor on January 8, 2018, making the
company an official employee sponsor for Apprenticeship
Carolina.
Funding from the SCAI Grant (South Carolina Apprenticeship
Initiative) covers a portion of the MTC course for each student,
and Nephron will supply all additional costs. Nephron was able to
receive this grant through their partnership with Apprenticeship
Carolina.
The program taking place at MTC will extend over five months,
and it began on March 6, 2018.
