Local Cannabis Jobs in High Demand in Simcoe County
April 25, 2019 – We are witnessing a resurgent local manufacturing sector sparked from Federal cannabis legalization. The growth of this industry has created a burgeoning cannabis job market all across Canada, including right here in Simcoe County, but filling this job market can be sticky. Weed puns aside, big cannabis business requires a workforce with particular qualifications and skill sets.
This means Canadian Colleges and Universities need to include more cannabis programming. And they have. This began to happen nearly a year ago for Loyalist College, when the college launched an eight-month Cannabis Applied Science (CSGS) post-graduate certificate program. That new program was the first of its kind in Canada.
