Brooklyn, NY – With the cannabis field buzzing with employment opportunities, Kingsborough
Community College (KCC) has partnered with Green Flower, a leading education provider for cannabis, to develop the skilled workforce that
will be required from seed to sale. They will offer three online certificates, designed
to quickly train professionals to fill the growing skills gap needs of companies in
the legalized cannabis industry. The three certificates include: advanced dispensary
associate, advanced cultivation technician, and advanced manufacturing agent.
“KCC’s commitment to helping working adults find and build new careers is second to none,” says Daniel Kalef, Green Flower’s vice president of higher education. “Educating a new workforce in cannabis retail, manufacturing and agriculture environments will significantly contribute to the continued growth of the industry through a well-trained workforce.”
Each course will cost $800, with a limited time special of $50 off thru December 30 using promo code FIRST30. Enrollment is currently underway for the training. No experience is necessary to enroll in the courses.
“New York is one of the nation’s largest cannabis markets, and the state’s recent inception of retail dispensary licenses will see the creation of new jobs requiring unique skills,” said KCC VP Dr. Simone Rodriguez. “These courses are perfect for people seeking to increase skills or looking to transition to a new career altogether.”
“Increasing accessibility to cannabis education is crucial at a time when there is a growing demand in this area,” noted Christine Zagari LoPorto, assistant dean of KCC’s program. “It is important for us to work towards closing the opportunity gap in New York’s economy and prepare students for careers that can be ladders to the middle class.”
