The cannabis job market is experiencing unprecedented growth, yet there is a shortage of qualified professionals ready to fill these new roles—with the latest data from Leafly showing that nearly 430,000 people are employed in the legal cannabis industry in the U.S today.
“We know that the vast majority of that talent being recruited has little or no professional cannabis experience and lacks an accurate understanding of how the cannabis industry actually works,” said Max Simon, CEO and Co-Founder of Green Flower. “With that in mind, we have worked with an extensive network of industry professionals and subject matter experts to develop the curricula for online certificate programs that address this gap—and we are so proud to partner with 16 top universities and colleges across the country to provide this education that prepares the next generation of cannabis workers for success.”
