Maui Community College seeks U.S. Department of
Labor demonstration, pilot, multi-service, research, and multi-state projects
funding to create sustainable infrastructure to support economic diversification and
development as well as job creation in rural Hawaii. The strategy will employ the
University of Hawaii Community Colleges and their relationships with public and private
nonprofit as well as for-profit entities to address the comparatively higher level of
unemployment, underemployment and economic vulnerability in rural Hawaii. The project
design intends to build capacity in rural communities through community colleges
collaborating with various entities to meet needs resulting from the dramatic downturn in
the tourism and agriculture economies. The average of 8% unemployment in rural Hawaii
represents a significant challenge that manifests differently on each island served.
Hawaii, Kauai and Maui Community Colleges offer more than three decades of community
development leadership and present the most stable center for long-term, sustainable
initiatives that may become institutionalized through relationships between the
institutions and their sector partners.
The outcomes will include placing unemployed and underemployed individuals from rural
Hawaii in jobs, training programs/internships, education programs, and permit various
agencies (e.g., public safety [police and fire departments], health [hospitals and
clinics], public education and university system) and private sector partners to establish
improvements that will allow the services and jobs to be sustained and support the overall
communitys economic health. Other outcomes will relate to capacity building
including expanding programs at two-year colleges to offer four-year programs to
strengthen the education, health, high tech, and other sectors to provide more and
improved professional services, create jobs at higher levels, reinforce economic
development, and grow local leadership. The range of project activities will include
project and program curricular design, assessment, education and training, counseling,
mentorship, work experience, job placement, followup services, and project management
including financial services and evaluation. In all proposed activities, the descriptions
provided in this initial project design are subject to revision and refinement including,
at times, reallocation of funds to more viable alternatives. The serious challenge of
sustaining programs requires that complex analyses be undertaken to examine the potential
of the project proposal within the context of the relatively modest economies in rural
Hawaii. Each island community is represented by a Rural Development Project Community
Advisory Committee that assesses proposed projects for their feasibility and
sustainability.
