Summary
Twenty-one high school grads and seniors just finished a six-week construction internship in Hawaii, gaining real-world hands-on experience on actual job sites across Oahu, Maui, and Kauai. After 40 hours of safety and tool training, they worked alongside skilled tradespeople — all part of the Career Connections program, which has trained over 130 students since launching eight years ago. Seventy-five of them have gone on to become carpenter apprentices. This initiative is a game-changer: it pays students, builds skills, and kickstarts careers without debt — and its success depends on contractors who mentor the next generation of builders.
