"Welcome to Cannabis Retail 101! My name is Emma Chasen and I’m so excited to teach you how to be a great budtender. In this course, we’ll explore the budtender’s role, how to successfully connect with customers, key elements of cannabis science, the vast array of cannabis products and consumption methods, how to sell cannabis and navigate medical concerns, and ultimately how to guide your customer to responsibly integrate cannabis into their lifestyle. Budtending is about science, service, and human connection. I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with you."
The courses on OKO U were very informative, as someone who hadn’t previously had experience working in the legal cannabis industry it taught me just what I needed to know to be ready for work in the industry. My favorite part about the OKO program is that once you’ve completed courses and get certified, you can use their Jobs platform to get matched with work at local farms and dispensaries to gain early experience. I was matched with my first gig just over a year ago, and have since then worked at multiple different farms across Oklahoma helping growers with training new people and quality control.
