What's Being Discussed
- Budget Modification for Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs: The board will review and consider changes to the budget for workforce programs that serve adults and workers who have lost their jobs.
- Comprehensive One-Stop Location: The board will discuss the location of a "one-stop" center — a place where job seekers can access employment and training services all in one location.
- Announcements: The date of the next Full Board meeting has not yet been scheduled; notices will be sent when a date is set.
Decisions Expected
- The board is expected to take action on the budget modification for adult and dislocated worker programs, which may involve a formal vote.
- The one-stop location item is listed as a discussion, so a final decision may not be made at this meeting.
Who Should Pay Attention
- Job seekers and unemployed residents on Oahu, particularly adults and those who have recently lost jobs, as the programs being discussed serve these groups directly.
- Workforce service providers and employers who partner with or rely on Oahu's workforce development programs.
- Community members interested in where a new one-stop employment services center may be located.
The meeting is open to the public and runs Tuesday, November 3, 2026, from 2:00–3:00 PM. You can attend via Zoom or in person at 715 S. King Street, Suite 211, Honolulu. Written testimony can be emailed to OahuWDB@honolulu.gov at least 24 hours before the meeting.
