Cannabis industry jobs platform Vangst announced on Tuesday a government contract with the Cannabis Business Office (CBO) – a part of the Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) - to create CannaBusiness Growth. The new educational program seeks to support social equity licensed cannabis entrepreneurs, by creating economic opportunities, local job creation, and community growth in Colorado. It's a result of Senate Bill 21-111 from a group of Colorado lawmakers that got enacted into law in 2021. The program, which includes more than 50 modules covering a range of general cannabis subjects to specific guidance relevant to industry verticals, is funded by the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund.
