Introduction to the Cannabis Industry

Join the team from the Cannabis Workforce Initiative to learn about the cannabis industry and the wide variety of available jobs.

The mission of the New York State Cannabis Workforce Initiative (CWI) is to promote and support social equity in the adult-use cannabis market by providing quality workforce development and legal education. Our work prioritizes diversity, equity, and quality jobs in the emerging cannabis industry through skills training, entrepreneurism services, workforce support, legal education for employees and employers, and the development of high-road career pathways. We draw our expertise from Cornell ILR and WDI.

CWI’s programming is made possible by funding allocated in the New York State Budget.
