Online training program for cannabis workers now available
EDMONTON, AB – The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission has launched a new training program for people interested in working in the recreational cannabis industry.
The SellSafe Cannabis Staff Training Program launched this week and is available online at sellsafe.aglc.ca.
Completion of the program will allow workers to apply with the AGLC to become qualified cannabis workers. Prior to legalization, which is expected to take place this summer, individuals may meet the requirements to become a qualified cannabis worker in Alberta but will not be formally approved to work in the cannabis industry until legally able to do so.
The training highlights policies and practices that promote socially responsible service and sale of non-medical cannabis, according to a news release.
