And um, they just dont throw you out there, they prep you, and you go through these different cycles of different classes. They time you to see how good you are, and help you to better yourself. It preps you for situations, where a customer is not the friendliest but you have to just keep smiling and deal with it. Because um, they probably arent mad at you, they are mad at what is going on around you, and like there medicines probably arent re filled or something. So it preps you, for that. Because it defiantly does, you definitely have to have patience in this job. Rick Is CVS a good company to work for Kaylee Oh, definitelyTorrentz will always love you. Farewell. 20032016 Torrentz.

Rick Jonathan Bib is the president of the National consortium and the state operated comprehensive rehabilitation centers sometimes referred to as the Consortium and directs the Arkansas career and technical institute. He has had an extended career in vocational rehabilitation leadership, and a career in Tech Ed. Welcome Jonathan Johnathan Thank you so much Rick for the opportunity. Anne Jonathan, thank you so much for being here. Could you give us a quick overview of the consortium Jonathan Sure, Anne. We have eight comprehensive centers across the United States, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and Michigan. We all have very similar purposes so, one of the things that we wanted to do many years ago is form an alliance and form this consortium, so we can share ideas and work with each other on innovative practices and best practices. That has continued to develop and over the past year, we have really been able to form some partnerships, including some champions and CSAVR to really look at national employers, and find ways that we can partner with them. Rick Jonathan, what are the centers doing to capitalize all of the opportunities with all of these CVS jobs Jonathan I have to give a lot of credit to Dwayne Roar he has been a champion at CVS centers and has really gotten the ball rolling on a national perspective. I am hearing back from all the centers, that have now signed MOUs with CVS to provide retail training. To get mock stores put into different locations, and to really focus in our and hone in on the retail training and to help our clients that we serve get some incredible jobs with CVS. Which is a great employer. Rick So CVS is setting up these stores all across the country in these various states that have comprehensive centersJonathan That is correct, we get a very large foot print and can draw from all over this state to focus in training and then ultimately get students back into their communities, working with an incredible employer that is looking out for their best interests and developing their careers, not just entry level job but also allowing for multiple pathways to make their way up within CVS. This last year has been filled with incredible opportunities and there are a couple of champions. I mentioned Dwayne Roar, but also Kathy West Evans at CSAVR has done an incredible job of helping us from a national perspective. Let state directors know what is going on and also helping us with building those relationships with key individuals at CVS. Rick So it sounds like there is a national focus to pull all these centers together and these national influencers like CSAVR are leading the way. Why Are All My Bones Popping And Cracking more. Jonathan You know we got regional managers, district managers, all coming to the center to make sure this is a success, so you got all levels of leadership and I mean just coming together it has been awe inspiring and also humbling that folks would look at what we do and get so excited, and just really, help us to really move forward with this great corporation. We have had the honor working closely with CVS but I think thats just one corporation that shares this same vision and I know Kathy West Evans and CSAVR is doing an incredible job of bringing these corporations together to really partner with all levels of VR but specifically with us as comprehensive centers. Rick Jonathan is the director of the Arkansas career and technical institute and joins us from his office in Hot springs, Arkansas. Download Vampire Bloodlines 64 Bit Patch. Thank you, Jonathan.
