 Leafly’s 6th annual Jobs Report said that last year there were 428,00 legal cannabis employees contributing to the economy.
That number has certainly gone up this year, with more states legalizing and constantly expanding industry growth. But how do you get one of those jobs, especially if you have no experience? One option is getting a college degree, specializing in Cannabis. LIM College in New York recently became the first university to offer a bachelor’s degree, called the Business Administration of Cannabis. Also recently announced, was a masters degree program available in Cannabis. Rowan University in New Jersey offers an MBA in cannabis commercialization. For a lot less time, though, you can also try certification. There are a LOT of cannabis certification courses available online, but sometimes their prices can stop people from doing it. Normally, you’d be able to get a student loan for education, but since it’s in the cannabis field, that can be unlikely when going through traditional methods. But now, there is a financing company who has agreed to work with a cannabis education company to finance cannabis education, called Climb Credit. Climb Credit is now working with Green Flower , who are a cannabis education company. Green Flower partners with higher education institutions to create cannabis certification programs. They currently offer online cannabis education certificates at 18 university partners in subjects such as cannabis healthcare, law, agriculture, and enterprise. Green Flower’s Vice President of Higher Education said, "The cannabis industry is creating tens of thousands of exciting and lucrative career opportunities across the country, yet a significant shortage of qualified professionals exists." "This partnership between Climb and Green Flower opens up cannabis education to so many more prospective students, with the cannabis industry as the ultimate beneficiary of having a significantly larger pool of qualified and credentialed workers to hire."
