The Hawai‘i P-20 Partnerships for Education has been facilitating a joint effort between the Department of Education and the University of Hawai‘i to improve high school student opportunities to be career and college ready.   As a result, they are considering a joint project to develop a “college access portal” to provide comprehensive and personalized information for students about career and college planning.

 

Joe Watts, a Senior Fellow for the Institute for Career and College Success, will be in Hawai‘i to share his experience in developing a similar portal for North Carolina and provide guidance on developing a Hawai‘i portal.

 

The purpose of this informational briefing will be to examine how Hawai‘i can develop a similar resource for its students.

 

NO PUBLIC TESTIMONY WILL BE ACCEPTED

 

FOR AMENDED HEARING NOTICES:  If the notice is an amended notice, measures that have been deleted are stricken through and measures that have been added are underscored.  If there is a measure that is both underscored and stricken through, that measure has been deleted from the agenda.

 

If you require special assistance or auxiliary aids or services to participate in the public hearing process (i.e., sign or foreign language interpreter, wheelchair accessibility, or parking designated for the disabled) please contact the committee clerk 24 hours prior to the hearing so arrangements can be made.

 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL THE COMMITTEE CLERK AT 587-7215
