Cannabis Education Program In Northwest Is Likely To See Success In The First Year.

Green Flower announces the inaugural launch of the certificate program in collaboration with six private and public higher education institutions in the nation. These certificate programs are professionally developed and are innovative. Also, these are designed to offer quick on-ramp assistance and help professionals bridge the increasing skill gap between the requirements of companies in the legalized cannabis sector. Green Flower is a leading education provider for cannabis.

“We were looking at how we can provide some programming in our non-credit area and do some things that were a little outside the box, in some of the more innovative industries that are growing in the nation and in the region,” Dr. Jay Johnson, associate provost of academic operations and development at Northwest, said. “With medical marijuana being approved in 2018 in the state of Missouri, Northwest was thinking about ways we could work in the industry. It really just fit perfectly in our portfolio of non-credit programs.”

“We are very closely connected to leaders across every area, from major corporate operators to small companies, and we created the curriculum with those experts,” he said. “We decided one of the best routes to go was to partner with universities.”

Every partnering university sponsored by the company distinctly standouts as a leader to provide cannabis training, including-

• Northern Michigan University's Continuing Education & Workforce Development - The first school in the nation to facilitate a cannabis-associated degree and medical plant chemistry bachelor's degree in 2017. In addition, an Indoor Agriculture-related degree is also started from 2020.

ZipRecruiter recently stated that employment in the cannabis sector has significantly spurred by 693% year-over-year with 79% quarter-over-quarter.

The programs offered by Green Flower University deal in four dimensions – cannabis law & policy, cannabis agriculture & horticulture, the business of cannabis, and cannabis health care & medicine. Programs are fragmented into three eight-week courses that will help all the enrolled candidates to complete the program on a flexible schedule with weekly modulates. Participants hold portfolio projects that permit them to demonstrate their sector-specific knowledge. Instructions and supervisors will be provided by top experts in the cannabis sector. Furthermore, after receiving a certificate offered by these programs, a candidate is able to land high-demand jobs.
