REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII TO ASSESS THE CRITERIA REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH AN EDUCATIONAL PIPELINE AND CURRICULUM TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS ACQUIRE THE NECESSARY SKILLS IN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AND CYBERSECURITY.

HCR 75 is a procedural resolution requesting the Hawaii Department of Education and University of Hawaii to study how to create educational pathways for students to gain skills in advanced manufacturing and cybersecurity. It asks them to assess the criteria needed for new curricula and workforce pipelines, focusing on local job readiness in high-demand fields. The resolution requires a report with findings and recommendations to be submitted to the legislature by early 2026. This does not create new programs but seeks to evaluate existing opportunities and gaps. It directly affects Hawaii's public education system and future workforce development in two critical technology sectors.
