Workforce Development Division

The Workforce Development Division within 劳工和工业關係部 administers federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act programs that fund employment and training services for job seekers and workers in Hawaii. The division operates and oversees 該州's network of American Job Centers, coordinates with the Workforce Development Council, and manages grants to service providers that deliver job training, career counseling, and employment placement assistance. It serves workers who are unemployed, dislocated, or seeking to advance their careers.

Hawaii residents who are looking for work, seeking job training, or trying to change careers can access free employment and training services through the division's American Job Center network. Employers looking to connect with job-ready workers can also use American Job Center services to recruit and hire.
