VANCOUVER—From growing the perfect crop to marketing within restrictive rules, Canadian colleges and universities are cultivating courses for those wanting to work in the booming marijuana industry. Niagara College is working on a certificate in marijuana production and the New Brunswick Community College is already teaching cultivation. Alison McMahon runs Cannabis at Work, a recruiting agency for marijuana companies, and said completing cannabis courses can help candidates stand out from the crowd. The new courses will likely be joined by many more down the road as the college prepares workers for the emerging industry, she said. “In order for the industry as a whole to gain legitimacy, people really need to know what it’s all about,” he said.
