The development of “Hawaiʻi<\/span> Graduates for Hawaiʻi<\/span>‘s Future,” earning a $20 million federal grant to boost early education efforts and the expansion of work-based learning across the state are a few of the highlights in the Hawaiʻi<\/span> P–20 Partnerships for Education (P–20) 2023 Annual Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hawaiʻi<\/span> P–20<\/a> is a statewide partnership led by the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> System, Hawaiʻi<\/span> Executive Office on Early Learning and the Hawaiʻi<\/span> State Department of Education that works to strengthen the education pipeline from early childhood through postsecondary education and training.<\/p>\n

Hawaiʻi<\/span> Graduates for Hawaiʻi<\/span>‘s Future<\/a> is a new goal focused on educational progress that leads to students being able to find good jobs in Hawaiʻi<\/span>, with a concerted effort to align educational programs with workforce needs and economic development. This commitment is displayed both in ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½<\/abbr>\u2019s newly adopted Strategic Plan<\/a> and the State of Hawaiʻi<\/span> Board of Education\u2019s Strategic Plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In January 2023, Hawaiʻi<\/span> P–20 was awarded a nearly $20 million federal grant<\/a> to strengthen the early childhood system by building upon existing federal, state, and local early learning and care investments. This grant will support coordination and collaboration among the state\u2019s existing programs, improve program quality, expand access, invest in workforce and maximize parental engagement in the early childhood mixed delivery system.<\/p>\n

Hawaiʻi<\/span> P–20 has provided resources and support for several work-based learning intermediary organizations to expand work-based learning. Each regional intermediary organization increased student participation in job shadowing, mock interviews and internship opportunities. Hawaiʻi<\/span> P–20 aims to expand the program to more schools.<\/p>\n
