CWI in Action
CWI has developed a 10-part certificate program that serves as an overall introduction to the cannabis industry. Gain an understanding of the cannabis market, processes from seed to sale, jobs available throughout the industry, and worker protections under labor and employment laws and New York’s Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA).
What is CWI?
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 supports, 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.
