Those studying in Athlone IT and IT Carlow are among those involved.
College students in the Midlands are volunteering to keep a frontline industry staffed as demand on the service increases.
Students from Athlone IT and IT Carlow are part of the initiative, in which every third level institution with a pharmacy technician course is helping to fill jobs that are being strained.
