My webCampus Experience: Allison Campbell, UFCW 1000A

Orillia, Ont. – May 2, 2014 – UFCW Canada members across the country are raving about the union's groundbreaking online education program, webCampus, which offers free online courses to all UFCW Canada members, their families, and community partners.

While many UFCW Canada members take webCampus courses out of personal interest, others see them as a way to develop their professional skills and add job qualifications to their resume. 

UFCW Canada Local 1000A member Allison Campbell, for instance, was recently hired as a Pharmacy Assistant at the Rexall Pharma Plus in Orillia, Ontario after completing three webCampus Pharmacy Assistant courses (Parts 1, 2, and 3) earlier this year. Prior to accepting her new job, Sister Campbell worked at No Frills #704 in Orillia for almost fourteen years.

Allison had the following to say about her webCampus experience:

"I want to thank UFCW Canada for offering such great courses. After taking the webCampus Pharmacy Assistant courses, I was hired at a local drug store and I'm loving my job so far! I've been able to start a new beginning and I'm now applying what I learned in a hands-on, pharmacy environment," says Sister Campbell.

Registration for various webCampus courses is now open. To register for webCampus, and to find out more about the program, visit the webCampus website today.
