The Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement has started its new free Maui Workforce Development Program.
The first 60 students began classes on Friday at a new classroom space located at Maui Mall near the council’s Kākoʻo Maui Resource Hub.
The program will prepare interested Maui residents for job opportunities om as a result of the devastating wildfires.
The program includes certification classes in HAZWOPER (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response), OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) and CDL (commercial driver’s license).
Registration remains open to Maui residents. Classes will be delivered in a phased format. For more information, visit HawaiianCouncil.org or contact Hawaiian Trades Academy Program Manager Kāne Lindsey at 808-204-2726 or kane@hawaiiancouncil.org.
