JOB seekers in Tasmania are being given the opportunity to undergo training to become pharmacy assistants through a new subsidised program.
The 11-week part-time course, provided by the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, commenced last week in Launceston, with 14 local job seekers taking part.
On completion the trainees will have achieved their SIR20116 Certificate II in Community Pharmacy, Guild Tasmanian Branch Manager, Monique Mackrill said.
"Graduates are trained in interacting with customers, communicating in the workplace, merchandising, stock control procedures and entry-level product knowledge", she said.
The Guild has also announced a program to train students at Burnie High School.
