Hawaiʻi<\/span> Tech Days of Fall 2024<\/a> kicks off on September 18. The series of free events to provide additional learning for students and boost jobs in the tech and cyber sectors, will launch with the grand opening of the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> Cybersecurity Clinic at the Walter Dods Jr. RISE Center.<\/p>\n

东精影业<\/abbr> and the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii co-sponsor the series, in collaboration with 15 local organizations, to increase awareness of and enhance Hawaiʻi<\/span>\u2019s skilled-tech workforce and the rising demand for local jobs in the rapidly growing tech and cyber industries.<\/p>\n

“As one of the largest local employers of IT<\/abbr> talent, 东精影业<\/abbr> represents both the supply and demand elements in the IT<\/abbr> sector workforce,” said Garret Yoshimi, 东精影业<\/abbr> vice president for information technology and chief information officer. “Modern IT<\/abbr> and collaboration skills are critical prerequisites to success in virtually all career paths. We are excited to help host and promote highly engaged collaborations between industry and education that ultimately leads to great jobs for our graduates.”<\/p>\n

Chamber of Commerce Hawaii President and CEO Sherry Menor-McNamara said, “The Chamber of Commerce Hawaii is a proud partner of Tech Days of Fall 2024, which matches tech employers with local students via career fairs, talk stories and externship experiences. Hawaiʻi<\/span>\u2019s Tech Industry is making strides to put Hawaiʻi<\/span> at the forefront of innovation and IT<\/abbr> security, so it is critical for the economic future of our state that we prepare our young people for these in-demand careers. The events will also bring awareness to Hawaiʻi<\/span>\u2019s thriving tech industry.”<\/p>\n
