At Walgreens, training isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a foundation for success. Whether you’re a new hire learning the ropes or a seasoned team member looking to grow, Walgreens University is your gateway to career development.

And the platform that connects you to it all? That’s Walnet.

From day one, Walnet seamlessly integrates with Walgreens University, helping employees access the right training at the right time, track their progress, and build the skills they need to thrive in their roles.

Here’s how it works—and why it matters.


What Is Walgreens University?

Walgreens University is the company’s internal training and development system. It provides:

  • Mandatory compliance and safety courses
  • Onboarding modules for new employees
  • Advanced retail and pharmacy operations training
  • Management and leadership development programs
  • Diversity, equity, and inclusion training
  • Certification support (for pharmacy techs and more)

All of it is accessible—and managed—via the Walnet portal.


What Walnet Adds to Walgreens University

Walnet isn’t a separate training tool—it’s the bridge between you and your development journey. Here’s what it brings to the table:

1. Centralized Access

No need to visit multiple platforms. Employees can access all required and optional courses directly within Walnet, organized by role and training stage.

2. Personalized Learning Paths

Walnet uses your job title and store location to show only the trainings that apply to you. Whether you’re a cashier, beauty consultant, or pharmacy tech, your dashboard is tailored to your needs.

3. Training Notifications

Never miss a deadline. Walnet alerts you when:

  • A new course is assigned
  • A certification is about to expire
  • A required video or module is incomplete
  • You’ve completed a milestone or badge

This helps keep you on track—without guesswork.

4. Progress Tracking

Employees and managers can both view training completion status. You’ll be able to:

  • See what’s done vs. what’s pending
  • Track time spent on each course
  • Print or download completion certificates
  • Monitor long-term development over time

Managers can also use this data to plan team coaching and recognize high performers.


Onboarding Through Walnet + Walgreens University

During your first week at Walgreens, Walnet and Walgreens University work hand-in-hand to guide you through:

  • Orientation videos
  • Store systems and safety training
  • Customer service modules
  • Role-specific tasks (e.g., POS training, pharmacy protocol)

New employees are set up for success from day one, with automated guidance and no paper manuals.


Growth Beyond Compliance

Walgreens is big on internal promotions—and training is key. Through Walnet + Walgreens University, employees can access:

  • Supervisor prep programs
  • Cross-training opportunities (e.g., pharmacy to retail)
  • DEI learning tracks
  • Communication and leadership skills modules

Whether you’re aiming for a lead position or just want to boost your skills, it’s all accessible in one place.


Certification Management for Pharmacy Techs

Pharmacy employees can use Walnet to:

  • Track national and state license renewal deadlines
  • Complete CE courses (Continuing Education)
  • Access pharmacy compliance modules
  • Store proof of completion for audits and verification

With Walnet acting as your dashboard, staying compliant is less of a chore—and more of a checklist.


Final Thoughts

Learning doesn’t stop after orientation—and at Walgreens, it shouldn’t. With Walnet’s seamless integration with Walgreens University, every employee has the tools to learn, grow, and advance without leaving the platform.

From onboarding to certification and career advancement, Walnet is your smart companion in personal and professional development.

So the next time you log in, don’t just check your schedule—check out a course. Your next opportunity might be one module away.
