Marijuana Moment
Officials in New Jersey this week announced that more than 1,000 people have enrolled in the state’s Cannabis Training Academy (CTA), which is designed to support entrepreneurs interested in entering the legal marijuana industry.
Launched in October of last year, the technical assistance program is free of cost to participants and covers processes around applying for a business license, obtaining municipal approval, raising capital and navigating issues like zoning and day-to-day operations. The program is supported by the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (NJ-CRC).
Courses are online, which the Department of State’s NJ Business Action Center (NJBAC) says allows those enrolled to complete the academy at their own pace. Programming consists of pre-recorded webinars as well as live Q&A sessions with instructors. In-person workshops are also forthcoming, according to NJBAC.
