Bill > HB2411

This bill establishes the Hawaii Employer-Led Sector Partnerships Special Fund within the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT) to provide stable funding for employer-driven initiatives that align workforce training with the needs of Hawaii's key industries. The fund will be supported by legislative appropriations, federal funds, grants, and private donations, and its moneys can be used for various purposes, including supporting sector partnership activities, developing training programs, providing technical assistance, and conducting labor market analysis. DBEDT is also required to coordinate its sector partnership efforts with the Workforce Development Council, which is a state entity focused on workforce planning and services, to ensure alignment with statewide plans and prevent duplication. The bill also appropriates funds from the general revenues to the new special fund and from the special fund for its purposes, with an effective date of July 1, 3000.
