Global Hemp Group Announces Consulting Agreement with Green Dot Consulting, Inc.

posted in: Cannabis News, Hemp Business News, Industrial Hemp | 1

Burbank, CA (PRWEB) February 07, 2015

GLOBAL HEMP GROUP INC. is pleased to announce it has entered into a mutual consulting agreement with Green Dot Consulting, Inc. (“GDC”), of Burbank, California, an experienced leader in cannabis industry education; data analytics; legislation; product & business development; extractions, genetics and more. The GDC team has a long and successful track record building brands like Cannabis Career InstituteTM, CannaTrendsTM, CannaJobsTM and many others.

The agreement calls for Green Dot to consult with GHG on the expansion of its business model into the medical cannabis industry and associated projects. Similarly, GHG will consult with Green Dot on its expansion into the hemp industry and associated projects.

Initially GHG will consult for Cannabis Career Institute (“CCI”) on expanding curriculum to include coursework on hemp economics, business opportunities; building materials, food & nutrition, cultivation, genetics, processing, bio-composites, etc. GHG staff will be hired to speak at CCI classes on the business of hemp and the entrepreneurial opportunities available in the hemp industry. In addition, Green Dot is gearing up for several cultivation facility construction projects that they intend to build with hemp materials. GHG will consult on the design, materials selection and sourcing, construction, automation, optimization and management of these facilities.

Global Hemp Group has been receiving an increasing number of inquiries regarding consulting on medical cannabis related projects as the industry continues to rapidly expand. With this agreement in place, the Company now has a strong partner in Green Dot Consulting that enables it to pursue a wide range of projects in the medical cannabis spectrum.

Robert Calkin, CEO of Green Dot, Inc. stated: “One the major concerns surrounding the cannabis industry is that indoor production of marijuana already has an enormous carbon footprint and we’re just getting started. We are proud to partner with a company whose main focus is to reduce the amount of energy used in the cultivation and extraction process. The cost per gram of cannabis nationwide will be directly impacted by the choices we make now in these crucial areas of savings. Whole markets will fall in the future if these concerns aren’t addressed.”

“To partner with a strong, experienced company like Green Dot, led by cannabis industry pioneer Bob Calkin, is a privilege and holds tremendous value for our Company,” said Charles Larsen, CEO of Global Hemp Group. We are looking forward to getting started on projects that both companies already have queued up that will provide a consistent stream of revenues for both parties as GHG expands its business model. The relationship with CCI will produce a steady flow of new business consulting projects from the entrepreneurs that attend CCI classes to educate themselves before launching their own canna-business.”

About Green Dot Consulting, Inc.

Green Dot is a multi-faceted company with a vast national network that includes cannabis scientists, medical specialists, new-product developers, cultivation and cannabis-industry experts, labor management consultants and more.

Cannabis Career Institute To Conduct All Day Seminar in Boca Raton This Saturday To promote Jobs and Business Opportunities In The Growing Cannabis Industry

posted in: Hemp Business News, Industrial Hemp | 0

Burbank, California (PRWEB) February 06, 2015

Earlier this week, Cannabis Career Institute announced a partnership with the Global Hemp Group (GHG) that will significantly broaden the educational spectrum for CCI students. Specifically, GHG will provide its hemp industry-leading expertise in expanding the CCI curriculum to include coursework on hemp economics, business opportunities, building materials, food & nutrition, cultivation, genetics, processing, and bio-composites.

GHG staff will soon be scheduled to speak at CCI classes on the business of hemp and the entrepreneurial opportunities available in the hemp industry.

“CCI Seminar interest from cannabis-minded businessmen and women all over the country has been tremendous and with our new affiliation with the Global Hemp Group, it will only increase,” said Robert Calkin, CEO and Founder of Cannabis Career Institute. “As both the cannabis and hemp legalization movements continue to envelope the nation, more and more people are seeing the exciting and potentially lucrative business opportunities available. Helping people understand these vibrant, vanguard industries and preparing them to pursue their goals is what we do.”

“There is no other industry on the planet right now that is growing as rapidly as the cannabis business,” added Gary Lane, CCI’s Sales and Marketing Director. “If someone is looking for a career in marijuana or wants to learn how the industry works, the one-day CCI workshop is an excellent primer. Not only does one receive valuable instruction and information but what also usually happens is a “class-bonding” dynamic.

More often than not, students of each of the classes form their own networking and support group that turns into a valuable and life-long resource.”

Cannabis Career Institute specializes in teaching would-be entrepreneurs how to navigate the often-murky waters of starting up a cannabis business.

CCI presents students with an objective expanse of options with step-by-step instruction on the process of starting a business. Delivery, Dispensary Management, Law, Compliance, Marketing and Advertising, Cultivation, Extracts and Cooking are all discussed in detail, providing students with many choices to fit their career goals and lifestyle.

Cost for the one day seminar, that also allows for students to attend any future class for free, is $ 349 and includes a seminar manual. CCI is scheduled to return to Boca Raton on Saturday, April 11.

As seen on CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, the Huffington Post, and more, Cannabis Career Institute was the first cannabis seminar training program ever offered and is the most successful of its kind.

Cannabis Career Institute to Conduct All Day Seminar in Los Angeles this Saturday to Promote Jobs and Business Opportunities in the Growing Cannabis Industry

posted in: Cannabis News, Industrial Hemp, Medical Marijuana Zone | 0

Burbank, CA (PRWEB) February 12, 2015

This Saturday, February 14th, from 9 am to 7 pm, at the Universal City Hilton, 555 Universal Hollywood Drive, Universal City, CA, Cannabis Career Institute will be hosting a business seminar about the cannabis industry.

Cannabis Career Institute offers state-specific training courses that address a range of topics — from legal requirements and regulations to basic grow techniques. The class will be led by CEO Robert Calkin who will be joined by a variety of marijuana specialists, each of whom will be lecturing on areas of their own cannabis-related expertise.

Last week, an article in Forbes Magazine by Carol Tice suggested that by 2018, legal cannabis business will generate roughly $ 8 Billion in the USA. In the article, Ms. Tice refers to Factbook publisher Cannabusiness Media, that estimated in 2014 there was between $ 1.6 billion and $ 1.9 billion of legal cannabis sold for medical use in the U.S., and another $ 600 million to $ 700 million was sold for legal and recreational use.

“Cannabis revenue trends are only going in one direction and that, of course, is — sky’s-the-limit up,” said Robert Calkin, CEO and Founder of Cannabis Career Institute. “As both the cannabis and hemp legalization movements continue to envelope the nation, more and more people are seeing the exciting and potentially lucrative business opportunities available. Helping people understand these vibrant, vanguard industries and preparing them to pursue their goals is what we do.”
