Launching fall 2021, the pharmacy technician certificate program at College of Lake County (CLC) will prepare students to face the challenges of a quickly evolving career field while also helping employers fill a growing demand for the position. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts the field will grow by four percent over the next decade. However, CLC s pharmacy technician program director Dr. Derek Leiter, who has been in the pharmacy field for 15 years, believes it will be much higher.
