Vocational Resource: Hawaiʻi Career Pathways Website
Career advice is plentiful, but how much of it is relevant for us here in Hawai‘i? There are so many exciting emerging fields, and Hawai‘i Career Pathways can help find what’s in-demand now and in the future.
Hawai‘i is working on evolving its economy to provide more well-compensated, high-skill jobs for local people. That means we’ll need a workforce to fill slots in sectors like renewable energy, technology, data, digital media, health, and more.
