Mrs. Dale's Pharmacy Technician students are officially stepping into second-semester Worksite Learning—putting their skills to work in real pharmacy settings and gaining hands-on experience that matters.
Students placed with Valley Services, are working in a closed-door pharmacy, where they support medication preparation for long-term care facilities and other partner sites. This behind-the-scenes work requires precision, accountability, and attention to detail to ensure hundreds of patients receive the correct medications on time.
Students placed with Providence rotate through Sacred Heart Medical Center, Holy Family Hospital, and St. Luke’s Hospital, where they are developing hospital-level pharmacy skills. These experiences include filling Pyxis machines, hand-carrying critical medications, preparing pediatric doses, and supporting emergency medication needs—high responsibility in fast-paced clinical environments.
At Walgreens and Rosauers, students are gaining valuable retail pharmacy experience, building skills in customer service, inventory management, and insurance billing—where accuracy, communication, and problem-solving are essential.

CBTECH students had the opportunity to work with BBCC’s Jennifer Starr this week. She shared valuable insights on where and how to find scholarships, what scholarship reviewers and donors look for in applications, and the key characteristics of strong scholarship essays. Ms. Starr also provided practical tips to help students improve clarity, word choice, and overall application quality.
Students who attended the presentation and met individually with Ms. Starr benefited from one-on-one guidance on a wide range of post-secondary education topics.
