A program in development

Veterans Employment and Education Program

Work and training inside the cannabis industry, for veterans who are ready for what comes next. This page sets out the objective, the goals, and exactly where the program stands today — including the parts that are still being built.

Nothing on this page promises a job, a placement or a wage. It is the plan, written plainly.

Objective

Provide veterans with work and educational opportunities within the cannabis industry.

Goals

  • Provide veterans with work opportunities in cultivation and security positions within the cannabis industry.
  • Provide veterans with entry courses to work in the cannabis industry.
  • Build relations with cultivation and dispensary facilities for work placement and hiring.
  • Eventually, find corporate sponsorship to support these sessions and to sponsor a veteran’s own medical supply of it.

The last of these is a goal being pursued, not a sponsor already in place.

Opportunities

  • Provide veterans with a work opportunity after their service.
  • Facilitate the industry with employees ready to hire.
  • Create diversity in the workplace.
  • Create social impact in the community.

What It Takes

  • Have commitment from cultivation and dispensary partners to create a hiring network.
  • Have veterans RSVP for the program.

Where It Stands

This is the work in progress, not a finished schedule. Both of these are being written now.

The first group he is working toward: 30 veterans or more.

  • Create an outline of the first event’s programming schedule.
  • Create the promotional language and creative assets to announce our first event.

Veterans interested in the program

Put your name down and we will contact you as the program takes shape. There is no cost and nothing to pay.

Leave an email or a phone number — either one is enough.

Please do not send medical records or private health details through this form.

If you would rather talk to a person, call (352) 709-3004. The same number is on the contact page, along with a short form.

This page describes a program being planned. It is not an offer of employment, and nothing here guarantees a job, a placement, a wage, an income or a sponsorship.

Veterans Project publishes general education. Nothing here is medical advice, a diagnosis, or a recommendation to start or stop any treatment, and nothing here replaces your own doctor, who knows your history and can examine you.
