Leading cannabis dispensary training company returns to North Little Rock this weekend to prepare hopefuls for careers in medical cannabis
NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark., October 9, 2018 (Newswire.com) - HempStaff, cannabis recruiters and dispensary training agency for the legal marijuana industry, is pleased to announce that it will be returning to North Little Rock, Arkansas, to host Medical Marijuana Dispensary Training courses this Saturday, October 13, at the Hilton Garden Inn North Little Rock. There will be two separate training sessions: the first from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. CT and the second from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. CT. The course costs $249 with prior online registration or $300 cash at the door if seats are available. You can purchase seats in advance on the HempStaff website: www.hempstaff.com.
“We are excited to return to Arkansas following the issuance of the state's first five cultivation licenses,” said James Yagielo, CEO and founder of HempStaff. “Dispensary applications are currently being scored by a third party, and we expect to hear the dispensary license winners in the very near future. Once this is announced, we expect the program to move very quickly, with dispensary owners looking to hire most employees before the end of the year to prepare for sales in the first quarter of 2019. Standardization in cannabis training is important, especially in a program’s infancy. First impressions are often lasting ones; HempStaff’s mission is to ensure that the Arkansas medical marijuana patients are tended to by professional and highly knowledgeable staff.”
