Scenario Exercises
Read each short situation. Decide what is happening and write a brief answer.
1. A company stops relying on guesswork and starts using written, step-by-step procedures and lab testing for every batch. Which industry trend does this show?
2. A new worker spends the day watering plants, feeding them, and keeping the room clean while learning the basics. What role is this person most likely in?
3. Two people apply for the same grower job with about equal experience, but one holds a CCHS credential. Who likely has the edge, and why?
4. A farm grows plants that contain only a very small amount of THC, meant for fiber and CBD products. Which market is this?
Show sample answers
1. Professionalization — the shift to written procedures and testing is a sign of the industry becoming a skilled, organized profession.
2. A cultivation technician (the entry-level, hands-on role).
3. The applicant with the CCHS likely has the edge; the credential is independent proof of knowledge that lowers the employer’s risk when experience is otherwise equal.
4. Hemp — cannabis grown with very low THC for fiber and CBD.
