Southern Connecticut State University’s (SCSU) Office of Workforce and Lifelong Learning (OWLL) is partnering with Green Flower to offer non-credit online cannabis education certificate programs, starting Dec. 2.
As Connecticut’s cannabis industry continues to expand rapidly following the legalization of recreational cannabis use in 2021, SCSU is meeting the growing demand for skilled professionals by offering three specialized program options: cannabis cultivation; cannabis retail; and cannabis extraction and product development.
“We’re thrilled to introduce these comprehensive online programs,” said Amy Feest, Senior Director of SCSU’s Office of Workforce and Lifelong Learning. “Our focus is on responding to the needs of high-demand industries, particularly through non-credit training. The cannabis sector is growing rapidly, and there’s a great deal of interest around it. Green Flower is an ideal partner, offering a forward-thinking yet practical approach to providing quality education for individuals looking to transition into new careers or strengthen their current expertise quickly.”
