Meeting an economic opportunity and industry need, 13 students have successfully completed a new workforce stabilization program in marine welding and will enter the workforce with skills needed to meet industry demands. These first-time program completers were recognized on Tuesday, August 19, in a special ceremony that also celebrated the first of its kind partnership with the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations<\/a> (DLIR<\/abbr>), Honolulu Community College<\/a>, the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Community College’s Workforce Development Office and the Ship Repair Association of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> (SRAH<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n

“Through a successful collaboration to develop a workforce stabilization program with marine industry partners, the DLIR<\/abbr> and Honolulu Community College, we were able to create a program in marine welding. We are proud to announce that we have a 100 percent successful completion rate amongst the participants. Moving forward, we hope to continue our efforts to create similar programs to support other industries,” said Keala Chock<\/strong>, dean of transportation and trades at Honolulu Community College.<\/p>\n

The 13 students come from various backgrounds including veterans and long-term unemployed workers. Components of the program included a volunteer internship program organized by DLIR<\/abbr>, short-term workforce training by Honolulu CC<\/abbr> and on-the-job training supported by the DLIR<\/abbr> with BAE<\/abbr> Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Shipyards, C and S Services, Marisco, Ltd. and Pacific Shipyards.<\/p>\n
