“I love that about WMCAT. There’s a lot of things that they’ve helped me do outside of [class], for my personal life, that helped me accomplish some things that I would’ve never thought I could’ve.”

3 Steps to Enroll
To enroll in the Pharmacy Technician pathway of WMCAT’s Adult Career Training Program, follow these steps:
1. Fill Out the Enrollment Form
By July 18, 2024
Please review the pathway overview and all information on this page before beginning the enrollment form.
2. Take the TABE Readiness Assessment
By July 23, 2024
After submitting the enrollment form, WMCAT will review your submission and email you instructions to sign up to take the TABE assessment on-site at WMCAT. This assessment helps to determine current knowledge in reading and math; TABE requirements must be met to move to the next step.
TABE is host in-person at WMCAT every Tuesday morning 9:00am – 12:30pm, June 4 – July 23.
3. Interview with Program Staff
June 17-August 1
After WMCAT communicates your TABE results to you, they will set up an interview. In this conversation, WMCAT staff will ask questions to learn more about you. You also will have the opportunity to ask questions to determine if WMCAT is right for you.
If you progress through all three enrollment steps, you will be contacted by WMCAT by August 2 with a placement decision.
Student Stipends
WMCAT is excited to offer a stipend to Adult Career Training students; we are hopeful that these stipends can provide additional support during the transition to a new career.
