Looking to gain a competitive edge in the retail cannabis job market? 

Okanagan College’s new online Cannabis Retail Sales course launches on Feb. 17 that will offer formal training and certified skills to students. 

“Legal retail cannabis has been slow to roll out in B.C. but it is gaining momentum,” explains Christopher Simpson, a business manager with Shire Green Cannabis. 

“Because the industry is privately funded, it’s important that companies get things right the first time. That translates to sky rocketing opportunities for skilled workers.”

The month-long course is designed from the point of view of a retail cannabis store manager and will provide fundamental knowledge of recreational cannabis, cannabis accessories and explain the strict regulations that govern the retail sector.
