CWI launched the beta version of its jobs board, CannaJobsLink, in mid-July, and will be optimizing it over the next few months, said David Serrano, CWI’s project manager. But CannaJobsLink is already operational, and is garnering excitement among marijuana industry employers, he said. “We’re 10 for 10 – every employer that we’ve shown the system to has signed up to our programming,” Serrano said. “It’s really great to see that there are jobs available in the market, and employers are coming in very excited to hire a workforce.” CWI is a state-funded collaborative effort of the nonprofit Workforce Development Institute and Cornell University’s School of Industrial & Labor Relations. The organization has trained hundreds of people on the basics of the cannabis industry since 2022, including through its traveling two-day Seed-to-Success Statewide Live Workshop. CWI’s job board aggregates cannabis industry job postings in New York State from sites like KayaPush, Indeed and others, Serrano said. Right now there are about 80 postings on the site, and Serrano expects there will be between 300 and 400 active job postings at any given time when the CannaJobsLink site is fully launched. An important aspect of CannaJobsLink, Serrano said, is it’s free and doesn’t require users to create an account. The lack of gatekeeping will allow anyone who’s interested in a job in New York cannabis to use the board as a tool, he said. “We definitely try to make it as efficient as possible,” said Serrano, who added that the job postings from the board are already being sent to students in their databases, as well as people who have signed up for CWI’s programming. Additionally, CWI is working with employers on the job listings they’re posting, Serrano said. “It’s more than just sharing a job opportunity – which is critical – but it’s also making sure that the employer feels supported through the process – that they have resources for how to hire,” Serrano said. CWI is using a two-pronged approach to cannabis education with expertise from Cornell and the Workforce Development Institute. WDI is creating training focused on industry education, while Cornell is providing information about worker rights and employers’ legal responsibilities.   [By Sean Teehan](https://www.syracuse.com/marijuana/2024/08/new-cannabis-jobs-board-in-new-york-seeks-to-help-legal-weed-industry-staff-up.html) ### **For more Cannabis News like this, circle back to **[**420intel.com**](https://420intel.com/)**!** ### [**420 Intel News**](https://420intel.com/content/about-us)** | **[**420 Advertising**](https://420intel.com/contact/advertising_opportunities)** | **[**Cannabis Business News**](https://420intel.com/articles/marijuana-business-news)** | **[**Medical Marijuana News**](https://420intel.com/articles/medical-cannabis-news)** | **[**Recreational Marijuana News**](https://420intel.com/articles/recreational-marijuana-news) [Cannabis Jobs](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/cannabis-jobs) ![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=200&height=200&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) #### [Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) At 420 Intel, we cover cannabis legalization news throughout the world, offer reliable information for cannabis business owners, detail technological advances that impact the marijuana industry, cover marijuana rallies from across the globe, and everything in between. - - - [Cannabis Business News](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/cannabis-business-news) [![Cannabis company vows to sue after New Mexico destroys tens of thousands of pounds of its marijuana crop](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/A%20cannabis%20companys%20marijuana%20crop%20being%20destroyed%20by%20state%20police%20in%20New%20Mexico.jpeg?width=550&height=395&name=A%20cannabis%20companys%20marijuana%20crop%20being%20destroyed%20by%20state%20police%20in%20New%20Mexico.jpeg)](https://420intel.com/blog/cannabis-company-vows-to-sue-after-new-mexico-destroys-tens-of-thousands-of-pounds-of-its-marijuana-crop) - [![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=80&height=80&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) - 6 November 2024 #### [Cannabis company vows to sue after New Mexico destroys tens of thousands of pounds of its marijuana crop](https://420intel.com/blog/cannabis-company-vows-to-sue-after-new-mexico-destroys-tens-of-thousands-of-pounds-of-its-marijuana-crop) State police have destroyed tens of thousands of pounds of marijuana plants at greenhouses in...
