Medicine Hat College is offering two cannabis industry training courses this month, followed by two other workshops in November and December.
Shannan Hurlbut, MHC program administrator with continuing studies, says the college decided the time was right to offer these courses because of the Aurora Cannabis facility coming to town.
The two courses are “Cannabis Legalization and Quality Insurance” and “Seed to Harvest,” modelled after existing courses at Okanagan College.
“They’re targeted towards people who are interested in getting into the cannabis industry,” Hurlbut said. “There’s a lot of people who are interested, but have no background in cannabis, so this is hoping to fill that gap."
