A company named Vangst serves as a recruitment opportunity for those looking to become involved in the business end of the cannabis industry, and Karson Humiston, the company’s founder, states that we can expect jobs within this industry to double by 2020. “Currently in the cannabis industry there are 122,000 people employed and between now and 2020 it’s going to get up to 250,000 jobs,” she’s said of the rapidly expanding industry.
When we think of jobs in relation to legalized cannabis, there are a few jobs that might come to mind, like dispensary workers and cannabis growers. But many of those who work within this field often have nothing to do with the cannabis itself. Tech firms, security companies and advertising agencies all have a role to play as well.
No matter your unique skill set, The Colorado Cannabis Career Summit wants to help you find a job.
This Denver career fair wants to increase opportunities for those who want to get in on the ground floor of an industry that is rapidly working its way across the United States-either because of recreational legalization or medicinal legalization. It’s obvious that as state laws catch up with the times and begin to allow for a regulated market for cannabis within their borders, there will need to be people to handle every detail-from the cultivator who grows America’s favorite plant for consumer use, to software-savvy tech experts who help dispensaries track their product from seed to sale.
“The jobs do pay well, most of the jobs pay in line with what other industries are paying and a lot of times there’s a bonus based on company growth,” says Humiston of what the pay is like for a person in the industry.
And there is no better time to get involved than when the industry is still largely new, developing and ironing out the details of operations. Vangst wants to bring potential cannabis employees together for this reason, as cannabis offers a bright future for anybody who can get in on the ground floor. That is the purpose of The Colorado Cannabis Career Summit.
