Yes you guessed it Green Flower again

MENOMONIE, WI, UNITED STATES, April 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — University of Wisconsin-Stout’s Continuing Education & Conferences is excited to announce a new collaboration with Green Flower, a nationally recognized leader in cannabis workforce education.

This partnership brings specialized, fully online certificate programs in cannabis cultivation, extraction, product development, and retail designed to equip professionals with knowledge and skills relevant to this highly-regulated and rapidly-evolving industry.

Launching April 30, these new certificate offerings will provide learners with an opportunity to gain industry-specific expertise in compliance, operations, product development, and business practices—knowledge areas increasingly valued across various sectors, including Wisconsin’s USDA-licensed legal hemp industry.

“Green Flower is thrilled to partner with University of Wisconsin-Stout, renowned for their commitment to providing career-focused industry experiences, to offer our three cannabis workforce training programs designed to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive,” said Max Simon, CEO and Co-Founder of Green Flower. “These programs are uniquely tailored to meet the demands of a highly regulated industry in a clear, thorough, and accessible manner for students in western Wisconsin and beyond.”
