Case Study: Jacob - Skills Bootcamp in Pharmacy

Our ‘Bridging the Gap’ Skills Bootcamp in Pharmacy is a pharmacy specific training programme that runs for 10 weeks for 1 day per week. It gives learners an understanding of what it means to work in a pharmacy as a Pre-Registration Trainee Pharmacy Technician and the role they play in pharmacies across England. As part of the programme, the Skills Bootcamp supports learners access an interview with an employer. 

We recently spoke to Jacob, one of our learners at the beginning of his Skills Bootcamp in Pharmacy journey to understand what attracted him to the programme and what he's looking to get out of it.
