As Elmira College welcomes a new class on campus, it’s also offering new online cannabis courses. They are designed to prepare people for the new jobs being created in the legalized marijuana industry. Anyone can sign up for the 9-week programs, not just current students.
“Right now, it’s really, it’s growing. It’s the fastest growing job market in the country,” said Daniel Kalef, Chief Growth Officer at Green Flower, a cannabis education company based in Ventura, California. “It’s still the fastest growing industry in the country, and you think about, it’s pretty remarkable when it’s not legal in every state.
Green Flower partners with universities nationwide to offer certifications in different areas of the cannabis industry.
“There are three programs that we’re offering with Elmira, and they’re all designed to train people to get jobs in the industry right away,” said Kalef. “So, there’s the cultivation specialist certificate, there’s a retail specialist certificate, and then our extraction and product development specialist certificate.”
