DigiPath Launches Vocational Cannabis Education and Training Division
Las Vegas, NV, July 1, 2014 -- Digital pathology solutions provider DigiPath, Inc. (OTCQB: DIGP / “DigiPath”) has announced the launch of its new cannabis education and training division to support its line of service expansion to include cannabis testing and education.
DigiPath has sought out the services of Oak Tree Educational Partners, Inc. (Oak Tree), an education holding company that acquires and manages educational training schools, to construct the initial business plan.
“The Oak Tree partnership will help us accelerate the launch of DigiPath’s education and training curriculums in the botanical nutraceutical and medical marijuana industries,” said Todd Denkin, President of DigiPath.
“We plan to develop weekend seminars, interactive online courses, and instructor-led programs to empower students with a comprehensive understanding of the many facets of botanical nutraceuticals and medical marijuana, and the critical skills needed in these industries.”
DigiPath is seeking to solve some of the major shortcomings facing the cannabis industry today—such as lack of best practices for growing and testing cannabis—by developing an industry-leading training curriculum.
“We’re exceptionally proud to be a part of this forward-looking program which is establishing excellent standards of educational operations across all organizations involved in the cannabis industry,” said Joe Bianco, Oak Tree’s Chief Executive Officer. “This is an area of knowledge that has been suppressed in the United States for too long.”
According to market research reports, the legal cannabis market in America is estimated to have reached $1.5 billion in 2013, and it is expected to quadruple by the year 2018.
