Discover Heartland. Discover... Cannabis Cultivation
A New Certificate Program That Began in Fall 2023
The cannabis cultivation certificate program empowers students to become accomplished professionals ready to contribute to the cannabis industry's growth and navigate its unique challenges with expertise and foresight.
Students will gain a multifaceted perspective on the cannabis industry, enabling them to identify their niche and forge a rewarding career path. They will dive into the various facets of the industry, developing a comprehension of its dynamic nature and ever-evolving regulations.
This certificate will prepare students for in-demand jobs that currently exist in the Heartland district as:
There is no age limitation on enrolling in cannabis courses or earning cannabis-related certificates, but state regulation requires individuals to be 21 or older to handle cannabis. Many employers also have a requirement that individuals be 21 or older to be hired into positions that are physically located on the premises or would come into contact with cannabis.
There are many reasons to study at Heartland Community College.
Cannabis courses at Heartland are designed to help you gain the practical knowledge required to work for the leading area employers. Our program works routinely with an industry advisory board to ensure that our courses and programming are at the highest level of industry needs. Here at Heartland, we flipped the script – we worked with employers first to develop courses that would prepare you to succeed in their companies.
