Impact

The resolution outlines that advanced manufacturing incorporates innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics, which enhance productivity and efficiency. By focusing on local manufacturing, it seeks to lower costs and improve delivery times. Furthermore, cybersecurity is identified as a crucial area for workforce development, especially given Hawaii's significant military presence and the opportunities for collaboration with the United States government in this sector. The ongoing education programs at various community colleges and the University of Hawaii are highlighted as foundational elements in this educational pipeline.

Summary

HCR75 is a House Concurrent Resolution requesting the Department of Education and the University of Hawaii to assess the criteria necessary for establishing an educational pipeline and curriculum aimed at ensuring that students acquire essential skills in advanced manufacturing and cybersecurity. This initiative aims to prepare students for successful entry into the workforce, particularly in high technology industries where job openings continue to grow.

Contention

One potential point of contention is whether the existing educational institutions can effectively meet the demands of advanced manufacturing and cybersecurity. The resolution emphasizes the necessity for a skilled workforce; however, concerns may arise regarding the feasibility of quickly adapting curricula and programs to address the rapidly evolving technology landscape. Additionally, there may be discussions on resource allocation and the need for legislative support to implement any recommended changes or enhancements to current educational programs.
