Zane State partners with Green Flower to offer Cannabis certificate courses
Classes cover dispensary associate skills training, cannabis manufacturing and cultivation.
Zane State College has partnered with Green Flower to offer three cannabis certificates designed to ensure education and safety training for people interested in a cannabis career. Coursework will cover advanced dispensary associate skills training, cannabis manufacturing and cultivation.
“In recent years, we've seen a significant shift in how industries are evolving to meet the changing needs and values of our society.
One such industry that has garnered considerable attention is the cannabis industry. As more states permit the recreational use of marijuana, research continues to highlight its potential medical benefits,” said ZSC President Chad Brown.
“The recent transition from medically restricted use to recreational use offers the college not only an opportunity for training expansion but also a sense of obligation to ensure skills and knowledge are provided for the greater good of our community.
”With recreational cannabis sales getting underway in Ohio earlier this month, the demand for a qualified workforce has never been higher, said Daniel Kalef, chief growth officer for Green Flower.
“Zane State becomes our only partner in the state of Ohio to offer these programs and we couldn’t be more excited at the opportunity,” said Kalef. Each certificate program takes nine weeks to complete and is offered fully online. Upon certificate completion, graduates will have access to Green Flower’s employer network. Each program costs $750 and is now open for enrollment.
