Training and Development

The Jean Coutu Network of pharmacies makes job training for employees a top priority. Regardless of your position, you will receive comprehensive job training.

On your first day on the job, you are assigned to members of the management team who will provide you with the necessary knowledge to allow you to do a job that you will be proud of and they will be satisfied with.

Several tools and resources contribute to the success of this training program.

The PJC Job Training Computer

This computer is installed in all Jean Coutu Pharmacies and allows the new employees to access a self-training program on video dealing with the different aspects of their work.

The PJC School

At The Head Office
This PJC School operates out of head office in Longueuil and depending on your job, you may be sent there by your store to undergo training provided by a team of instructors who are professional and dynamic. Subjects studied : human resources management, operations, orthopedics, the pharmacy, the cosmetics counter, etc.

This job training is remunerated and carried out during your normal work schedule. Travel expenses and meals are also reimbursed.

Instructors On The Road
For employees unable to attend the PJC School, a team of instructors travel throughout the entire province to provide them with the same courses as those available at head office.

Certification Program

For certain positions and depending on the job training Master Plan, the employees obtain a certification after having completed the basic courses. For example, if a store manager has successfully completed his job training program, he obtains the grade of "certified manager". The same applies to a head cosmetician and for all other department head positions.
