Requesting The Department Of Commerce And Consumer Affairs To Provide Information And Conduct Career-oriented Presentations For High School Juniors And Seniors In The State Regarding Professions Subject To Licensure And Certification By The Professional And Vocational Licensing Division.
The resolution highlights that there are numerous professions and vocations licensed by the DCCA, amounting to fifty-two different areas across twenty-five professional boards and commissions. The proposed presentations are designed to engage students, inform them about the educational requirements of various careers, and encourage them to consider professional paths that may be less familiar to them. This educational outreach could significantly influence students' future career choices and aspirations.
SCR44, introduced in the thirty-first legislature of Hawaii, is a Senate Concurrent Resolution that requests the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) to provide information and conduct career-oriented presentations for high school juniors and seniors. The resolution emphasizes the importance of these presentations in helping students explore various professions that are subject to licensure and certification by the DCCA's Professional and Vocational Licensing Division. By doing so, the initiative aims to broaden students' perspectives on potential career paths.
While the resolution seeks to enhance career guidance for students, there are points of contention that may arise regarding the effectiveness of such presentations. Questions could be raised about how well the DCCA will execute these outreach efforts and whether the information provided will truly resonate with students or be seen as merely a formality. Additionally, concerns may arise regarding the allocation of resources for these presentations in light of other demands on the department.
