FORT WORTH, Texas – Gatlin Education Services announced today it has reached an agreement with CVS Pharmacy that will give students an important leg up in the job market. CVS will offer its externship program to students in several CVS districts who are taking Gatlin’s pharmacy technician online career training program provided basic qualifications are met.
Gatlin’s nationally recognized pharmacy technician program is available at hundreds of continuing education departments at community colleges and universities across the United States. This blended learning online program teaches the necessary skills to gain employment as a pharmacy technician in a hospital or retail setting. The course aims to provide high school graduates and individuals seeking new careers the skills and knowledge that will enable them to qualify for entry-level positions in pharmacies as well as prepare for the mandated national certification.
CVS supplies interns up to 40 hours of hands-on experience that includes assisting pharmacists with prescriptions, answering patient questions about medications and a bevy of administrative duties. Gatlin and CVS initially expect to enroll about a dozen students in the internship program every month, with that number doubling in a year’s time.
“The pharmacy technician certificate program is one of our most popular offerings,” said Mark Lamkin, Executive Director of Fort Worth-based Gatlin Education Services. “The added benefit of having a valuable internship will continue to put Gatlin students a step ahead in this job market. The partnership with CVS will not only open doors for students, but will also pave the way for similar advantages with our other programs.”

Gatlin Education Services Strengthens Training with New Health and Fitness Courses
FORT WORTH, Texas - Due to an increasingly health-conscious society and a related rise in health clubs and exercise facilities, there are many job openings for certified professionals in the fitness industry.

Individuals wanting to launch a rewarding career or enhance their health and fitness can gain the required knowledge by taking any of the latest online training programs offered by Gatlin Education Services. New certificate course titles are:

The first course, Fitness Business Management, prepares students to implement and manage a health-fitness department and personal training program as a Strategic Business Unit. In Personal Fitness Training & Group Exercise for Older Adults, students will learn the social and physiological aspects of aging as well as the role of exercise in improving health, fitness, function and quality of life in adults. Both of these courses provide students with an optional 6-week internship to practice learned concepts in a real-world health and fitness setting.
