UNE partnership with Apothecary by Design featured in MaineBiz

The partnership between UNE's College of Pharmacy and Apothecary by Design was featured in MaineBiz this week for its role in keeping knowledgeable, talented employees in Maine. 

The article discussed the difficulty faced by Maine businesses to recruit and maintain quality labor in the state. UNE was credited for contributing to Apothecary by Design’s continued growth by supplying four students who were later hired full-time, five part-time employees, and more than 50 interns.

The partnership, which began in 2009, provides students with hands-on experience, while allowing the company to evaluate how those students perform in a professional pharmacy setting. This cooperation benefits students, businesses and the local economy by training and hiring the next generation of pharmacists.
