Developing Hawai`i's workforce

Lt. Governor Aiona today travels to Maui where he is supporting the island's first class to graduate from a continuing-education program offered by Kapi`olani Community College. The eight students are graduating from a Radiologic Technology program, which has trained them to start work at hospitals, physicians' offices and diagnostic imaging centers across the state.

According to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment outlook for this field is expected to increase by about 15 percent between now and 2016, faster than the average for all occupations.

"I am proud that Kapi`olani Community College is preparing our residents for new opportunities and better jobs," Lt. Governor Aiona said. "I am also pleased that it is helping ensure employers have the skilled workers they need to serve the community and foster economic growth."
