RE: S.C.R. No. 144
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty—Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Education and Higher Education &
Technology, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 144 entitled:
“SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII COMMUNITY COLLEGES, AND
HAWAII P-20 PARTNERSHIPS FOR EDUCATION TO DEVELOP CLEAR
PATHWAYS FOR STUDENTS IN DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CAREER AND
TECHNICAL EDUCATION ACADEMIES TO SEAMLESSLY CONTINUE THEIR
EDUCATION IN CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AT
UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII COMMUNITY COLLEGES,”
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to urge the Department of
Education, University of Hawaii Community Colleges, and Hawaii
P-20 Partnerships for Education to develop clear pathways for
students in Department of Education career and technical education
academies to seamlessly continue their education in career and
technical education programs at University of Hawaii Community
Colleges.
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure
from the Department of Education; University of Hawai’i Community
Colleges; Hawai’i P-20 Partnerships for Education; and Chamber of
Commerce Hawaii.
Your Committees find that students participating in career
and technical education programs learn vital skills they need to

attain high-skill, high—wage careers in high-demand occupational
fields. Your Committees further find that the Department of
Education offers its students up to thirteen broad continuing and
technical education pathways. Your Committees note that, although
the University of Hawaii also offers a wide array of continuing
and technical education pathways for community college students,
there is a lack of clear coordination between Department of
Education and University of Hawaii educational systems. Your
Committees believe that the development of clear pathways for
students in Department of Education Career and Technical Education
Academies to seamlessly continue their education in career and
technical education programs at University of Hawaii Community
Colleges is needed to ensure growth in the State’s future labor
force.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Education and Higher Education & Technology that are
attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent
and purpose of S.C.R. No. 144 and recommend that it be referred to
your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
Committees on Education and
Higher Education & Technology,
