maintains a strict balance between the use of local and mainland suppliers to maintain these high customer service levels. PREPARING THE COMMUNITY FOR THE FUTURE Another reason why Longs Drugs holds such an enduring position within the communities it serves is because it is committed to local workforce development. “We’re partnering with different communities along with the state to not only offer workplace experience but a career path for students that may not be seeking higher education outside of a diploma,” says CVS East Honolulu District Leader Fran Nakoa. By partnering with Job Corps,high schools,and military transition programs, Longs can offer paid internship programs offering valuable work experience and career paths for students and veterans. The pharmacy also collaborates with the Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy in Hilo, providing rewarding career opportunities for both current and prospective pharmacy students. This collaboration was triggered by a desire for more locally-grown talent and leadership, so aside from the healthcare aspect, it also provides opportunities related to business management, real estate, law, and marketing. This unique opportunity is also directly related to a career in healthcare with Longs itself, as the organization hopes to shed light on the immensely rewarding career options that are available within the pharmaceutical industry. It focuses on the basic pathway to becoming a pharmacist but also highlights the advanced tracks that lead to positions like pharmacy manager or district support pharmacy leader.
