Building a Better Workforce

The JH Health System receives $3 million for career development

U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao pays a call on pharmacy tech Elliott Ward.

Elliott Ward joined Hopkins as a protective services officer earning $10.38 an hour.

Today he’s a certified pharmacy tech and earns $12.20. Ward’s long-term career goal? A pharmacist.
