Our NDICA outreach efforts will focus on assuring that residents in impacted areas receive the necessary information needed to access all of the resources that are offered through our programs. Our community outreach efforts will be done in partnership with local community-based organizations, governmental entities, educational institutions and workforce intermediaries.
Additionally, efforts will include the offering of educational information and the support of activities geared toward community residents – open and freely – intended to engage and encourage participation in the industry. Activities include but are not limited to:
- Community Food Give Aways
- Informational Sessions
- Industry Promoted Public Events
- Training Opportunities and Educational experiences
- Fun and Engaging Volunteer Activities
Participants can look forward to learning from well-respected industry experts who have their feet-on-the-ground in daily cannabis operations. These instructors share not only their objective knowledge but also their personal experiences and passion for the industry.
