It is an honor to partner with the Center for Transforming Lives for the life-changing work of creating access to education. Through this workforce development program, we're offering the Pharmacy Technician Preparation Course. For these strong, resilient learners, this is not only a pathway to a meaningful career in healthcare but also a pathway to building a healthy quality of life for themselves and their children.
We want to thank our UNT Health Fort Worth colleagues who masterfully designed this course to help people confidently join a workforce that makes it possible for pharmacies to be a vital healthcare touchpoint in our communities: course creator and College of Pharmacy and Health Professions professor Jennifer Taylor Fix, instructional designers Leila Mahmoudi and Marcus Taylor, senior instructional media specialist Adam Van Fossen, and instructional media specialists Nicholas Alexander, Casey Moore and Edward Hillers.

A new set of workforce training pilots from Center for Transforming Lives is creating fast, practical pathways into high-demand careers for single mothers in Tarrant County. Launched in partnership with UNT Health Fort Worth and CLC, Inc. - Training & Employment Services, the programs combine short-term certification with free child care, transportation access and volunteer tutors. The initiative is designed to help participants quickly secure employment earning approximately $45,000 annually, with the potential to grow into long-term careers.

“Without child care or reliable transportation, it’s nearly impossible for a single mother to get the credentials she needs to build a secure career,” said Carol Klocek, CEO of Center for Transforming Lives. “By working with community partners like UNT Health and CLC, Inc., we’re able to create a path to a living wage, while also helping meet the need for trained workers in Tarrant County.”
