Kim Rivers Studies Guiding For Marijuana Dispensary Jobs

The cannabis market has seen a boom in the recent years, thanks to more U. S. states legalizing the medical use of marijuana. With this boom comes the production of new jobs, which are rising steadily as more cannabis businesses are opening throughout the states where medical marijuana has achieved legality. Kim Rivers CEO of Trulieve, a Florida-based marijuana dispensary company, discusses the importance of training in this fairly new field, especially among cultivation workers and eventually, dispensary agents.

"As with any other areas, marijuana dispensary employees need to have the insights and training required to do their jobs correctly," says Rivers. "However, this kind of training isn't available at schools, so dispensaries have to teach new hires themselves from scratch, which consumes not only time but also other resources."

According to Rivers, since state regulatory agencies are not offering marijuana dispensary education, companies are anticipated to receive applications from people who know little, if anything, about the job. It can become overwhelming for a marijuana dispensary to determine which personnel to hire out of the hundreds of people who applied for the job. If there were at least one or two applicants who received marijuana dispensary training, the whole hiring system would be much easier for the company.

"Basically, marijuana dispensary training isn't only beneficial to marijuana dispensaries, but to job customers as well," River adds. "Training at the dispensary or company level assures consistent patient care and a favorable experience for patrons of the dispensary operation."

The company is using video training tools, which can be updated in real time to offer consistency across its network of thirteen dispensary locations across the state of Florida. "It's great that more and more people are seeing the importance of marijuana dispensary training and that entrepreneurs are commencing to make this happen," says Rivers.
