Trying to gain entry to any restricted environment, particularly one that is as lucrative as the cannabis business, is mostly about who you know, what you know and who you are.
On July 25, 2018, the Equity and Opportunity: A Jobs Fair for a New Economy presented by Massachusetts Cannabis Business Association was held at the Reggie Lewis Center in Roxbury, Massachusetts. Over 750 people from all walks of life attended the event to learn what opportunities may exist in this blooming industry.
The Joint Perspective asked some attendees, vendors and stakeholders why they thought this job fair was important.
