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.

HR 67 is a House Resolution (not a binding law) requesting Hawaii's Department of Education and University of Hawaii to study how to create educational programs in advanced manufacturing and cybersecurity. It asks them to assess the specific curriculum and pipeline requirements needed to ensure students gain job-ready skills in these fields. The resolution requires a report with findings and recommendations, including potential legislation, to be submitted to the Legislature by early 2026. This directly affects Hawaii's public education system and workforce development efforts, focusing on preparing students for high-tech jobs locally.
