"HempStaff has certified more than 500 students in Florida since 2014, and this will mark the seventh time we have held dispensary agent training courses in the state," said James Yagielo, co-founder and CEO of HempStaff. "There are currently 13 licensed marijuana cultivators in Florida with an additional 5 to be licensed this year, all of which are permitted to open 25 dispensaries. Our goal is to professionalize Florida's cannabis industry by providing these dispensaries with well-trained and highly-educated dispensary workers."
In addition to Florida's cannabis regulations, the course topics include:
- Communicating with new customers and medical patients to understand their individual needs
- Managing point of sale and inventory systems
- How to determine and recommend dosage
- Cannabis' effect on the endo-cannabinoid system
- How cannabinoids and terpenes can alleviate or reduce symptoms of illness

The 4-hour course culminates in a certification exam that students must score 75% or higher to get a HempStaff Dispensary Agent Certification. In addition to education, HempStaff offers recruitment assistance to students, which includes a cannabis resume review and tips on how to make connections with employers looking to fill entry-level positions at dispensaries and cultivation sites.
