School Workforce Pipeline Project

Meeting with Hilo Japanese Chamber of Commerce’s Education Committee today. We discussed my proposal for developing a “School Workforce Pipeline Project.”

My goal is to connect employers seeking good staff to high school graduates seeking good jobs. We will focus on those not attending higher education, but ready to join the workforce.

I also met with Hawaii Island Chamber of Commerce today, but forgot to take a picture!!
I thank both Chambers for their enthusiastic interest and willingness to support this new effort.

Mahalo to my staff, including Lauren Paer, who helped get this started.
