Workforce and Education
Education provides the skills people need to thrive. A strong education system broadens access to opportunities, improves health, and bolsters the resilience of communities – all while fueling economic growth in a way that can reinforce and accelerate these processes. Education can bring about a fundamental shift in how we think and act toward one another and the planet. This panel will discuss the opportunities to support education to foster a sustainable workforce on Hawaiʻi Island.
