The Workforce Development Division (WDD) is a customer-driven workforce development system that assists job seekers, workers and industries. WDD provides a free referral and placement service that links qualified job seekers with employers. For more information, click HireNet Hawaii.

The WDD develops and maintains various partnerships with the private sector to identify emerging employment trends, technological advances, declining industries and economic issues. The division develops grant proposals in coordination with other agencies to carry out employment and training program activities and services such as the School to Work Opportunities Grant and One-Stop Career Centers.

The division works with educators, employers and labor unions to identify basic skills and qualifications of all workforce entrants. Together they build career-based learning and industry skill standards in targeted industries.

They are also involved in strategically planning for economic dislocations of workers in declining industries, making appropriate services available to dislocated workers.
