STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2858

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 103

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Higher Education and Education and Housing, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 103 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING A REPORT ON THE FEASIBILITY OF CREATING A VOCATIONAL/TECHNICAL EDUCATION LEARNING CENTER AT HONOLULU COMMUNITY COLLEGE,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to request a report on the feasibility of creating a Vocational/Technical Education Learning Center at Honolulu Community College.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the University of Hawaii System, the Department of Education, and one individual.  Written testimony presented to the Committees may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Honolulu Community College (HCC) offers unique technical training opportunities in areas such as Aeronautics Maintenance Technology, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology, and Sheet Metal and Plastics Technology.  Your Committees find that establishing a Vocational/Technical Education Learning Center at HCC could expose Hawaii's students to unique learning opportunities that may be unavailable through regular high school courses, pique students' interest in higher education, and offer students career-oriented goals for their academic endeavors.

 

     Your Committees have amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive changes for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Higher Education and Education and Housing that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 103, as amended herein, and recommend its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 103, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Higher Education and Education and Housing,
