From University of Hawai‘i News:

Free preparation for information technology careers in local companies is being offered through a series of events called “Tech Days of Spring 2023” presented by the University of Hawaiʻi and the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, March 21–April 6, 2023.

Tech Days is the result of many organizations collaborating to expand information technology career preparedness for Hawaiʻi high school and college students in an effort to grow a local, skilled talent pipeline for the thousands of in-demand, local IT jobs.

“We are working across our UH campuses to build a strong IT workforce pipeline—from help desk and network technicians to data scientists and software engineers,” said UH President David Lassner. “The need throughout the community for these skills at multiple levels of expertise has never been greater. Our goal is to connect our graduates with local employers who are looking to hire into these high paying, in-demand jobs and then provide continuing education opportunities to support professional development and promotion.”

Events will be held both in person and virtually. Event organizers hope to inspire students and showcase the exciting local career opportunities available in the tech industry.
