Last July 18, 2023, Punlaan School and Watsons Philippines signed a memorandum of agreement on the new program offering: Pharmacy Assistant Apprenticeship.
Watsons Philippines Managing Director Danilo S. Chiong and Foundation for Professional Training Inc. (FPTI) Chairman Imelda Nibungco sealed the partnership at the event. Through the new program, more underprivileged young women will have the opportunity to be job-ready after six (6) months of training.
The Pharmacy Assistant Apprenticeship program equips trainees with TESDA-certified in-school learning and on-the-job training at Watsons branches. Students who qualify for the program will receive a monthly allowance of 9,000 pesos and ready-to-work experience.
The 1st Batch of trainees begin classes on October 2.
