The goal is to provide students with core business and industry-specific knowledge and experience to pursue careers in various aspects of the legal cannabis industry with roles in cannabis retailing, marketing, product development and regulatory issues, among others.
“Monitoring the explosive job growth in the cannabis sector, we find that employers are seeking skills and experience often possessed by fashion business professionals plus cannabis industry knowledge.is ready to graduate students with strength in both areas and we are excited to bring our successful track record to building industry connections and career readiness to the cannabis sector,” said Elizabeth S. Marcuse, president of LIM College.
Cannabis major courses will be taught by working professionals, including Chris Jones, founder of Cannabis Xpress and Marianne Cursetjee, chief executive officer and cofounder of Alibi Cannabis.
