TULSA, OK, UNITED STATES, October 16, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tulsa Community College continues to expand its academic offerings for students interested in future-focused industries with the addition of five new cannabis certificates to its Cannabis Education Program, in partnership with Green Flower.

TCC has partnered with Green Flower, the leader in cannabis education, to offer educational programs to provide job skills training for those interested in a cannabis career which will cover business, health care and medicine, law and policy, agriculture and horticulture, and product development. According to ZipRecruiter, the average annual pay for cannabis industry jobs in Oklahoma is $72,246 a year.

“Tulsa Community College is focused on offering skills training that aligns with the needs of our evolving local industries. Our online certificate programs, in partnership with Green Flower, are a great way to open doors to careers in the cannabis field,” said TCC Vice President of Workforce Development Pete Selden, EdD.

Each certificate is a 6-month long program and fully online. Upon certificate completion, graduates will have access to Green Flower’s employer network. Nearly 100 students have completed the short-term programs that are already offered—and with the addition of these 6-month online certificates, students will have the opportunity to gain more advanced skills and expertise beyond what is offered in the nine-week courses.

“Green Flower is excited to be deepening our partnership with Tulsa Community College, our only education partner in the state of Oklahoma—and the state’s largest community college. We believe the demand for these additional professional programs will be significant as the cannabis market in the state continues to grow and evolve,” said Daniel Kalef, Chief Growth Officer at Green Flower. “We truly appreciate the commitment and partnership of the leadership at TCC and see this as the next step in the evolution of not only our partnership, but of access in Oklahoma to quality cannabis education programs.”

The cost of each 6-month online program is $2,950 with a $400 discount for students who enroll for classes beginning on Nov. 12, 2024. For more information on TCC’s professional cannabis certificate programs please visit https://cannabiseducation.tulsacc.edu/
