CAREERS IN THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY

Cannabis is still a banned substance at the federal level in America. However, as of March 2018, medical marijuana is legal and regulated in at least 30 U.S. states. And in eight of those states, recreational marijuana is also legal and regulated. There is no doubt that jobs in this industry are growing. There are more opportunities in this industry than you may realize. Across America, the state-legalized marijuana industry already provides work for as many as 230,000 people. By 2021, that number is predicted to rise to about 414,000. Roughly 35 percent of those jobs will be in California. Between 2018 and 2025, the U.S. market for legal marijuana could grow by a whopping 122.5 percent to become worth more than $24 billion.That could result in the legal cannabis sector supporting the employment of more people than America's manufacturing industry.  Check out this article to learn more about careers in cannabis.

NEW YORK WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT REPORT:

This excellent report is from the Workforce Field Building Hub of the New York Workforce Professionals Training Institute.  This report is must reading for every one in leadership in government, workforce programs, funding sources and policy making in urban workforce systems.  The report gets at the heart of so many of the issues that keep these systems from being more effective.  It is not only an analysis of the problems and challenges, it also provides practical and well thought out recommendations that have implications for many urban workforce systems.  Click here to read the report Workforce Agenda for New York City.



SPOTLIGHT ON MY SERVICES!

One of my most popular new training's is:

Trauma! The Most Powerful Hidden Barrier to Employment and Job Retention!

About 40% to 60% of Americans have experienced trauma, but the percentages are much higher in many of the youth and adult populations served by the workforce system. Many of the things we see as barriers to employment are actually coming from trauma. You may address the barrier symptoms, but if you can't help people with the cause, either through your services or a referral, they will not make employment progress and be challenged in many areas of their lives. I know a lot about trauma since I am a multiple trauma survivor myself. For information on the training I provide about trauma, click here.

HIDDEN DISABILITIES
DISCLOSURE, ACCOMMODATIONS AND OTHER ISSUES

Estimates vary, but it is generally thought that about half of the people with disabilities have hidden disabilities.  Many of these people will go to work without having to disclose the disability.  But what will they do if the disability starts to interfere with their job or the conditions of the job change in ways that make it difficult to do them with their hidden disability?  What are their options for disclosure and accommodations?
