Check out our partnership with Kalamazoo Valley Community College.

We recognize that one of the biggest barriers to entering the cannabis industry is access to education. To address this, we’ve partnered with Kalamazoo Valley Community College’s Cannabis Programs to create a financial aid initiative exclusively for Kalamazoo city residents aged 21 and older.

KVCC offers three specialized, 9-week certificate courses: 

- Cannabis Cultivation

- Retail Specialist

- Extraction Specialist

This is a fantastic chance to gain industry-specific skills and certifications at no cost. Don’t miss this opportunity to jumpstart your career in the rapidly growing cannabis industry!
