https://cannabisworkforce.org/The mission of the New York State Cannabis Workforce Initiative (CWI) is to promote and support social equity in the adult-use cannabis market by providing quality workforce development and legal education. Our work prioritizes diversity, equity, and quality jobs in the emerging cannabis industry through skills training, entrepreneurism services, workforce supports, legal education for employees and employers, and the development of high-road career pathways. We draw our expertise from Cornell ILR and WDI.
CWI’s programming is made possible by funding allocated in the New York State Budget.
After over a year of work, the New York State Cannabis Workforce Initiative has launched a jobs board to help employers in the state’s legal weed industry staff up and assist job-seekers.
CWI launched the beta version of its jobs board, CannaJobsLink, in mid-July, and will be optimizing it over the next few months, said David Serrano, CWI’s project manager. But CannaJobsLink is already operational, and is garnering excitement among marijuana industry employers, he said.
