As growing numbers of Hawai‘i Baby Boomers retire and leave the workforce, they take with them decades of valuable experience and wisdom that could benefit students in need of mentors. Giving back to the community and growing the next generation of leaders has always been important for people who love Hawaii and call it home.
Schools throughout Hawaii are working to educate our keiki in a variety of topics including those that encourage them to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Hawaii, as well as the rest of the country, is projected to face a shortage of workers in these fields in the years to come and each of us must do our parts to help close this gap.
If you’ve enjoyed a rewarding career as an engineer, scientist or IT professional and are ready to share your wealth of knowledge with others, consider becoming a STEM mentor to Hawai‘i youth. An information session is scheduled at UH Manoa Innovation Center ~ Board Room, 2800 Woodlawn Drive, Honolulu, on Thursday, May 30, 2024, from 9 am to 11 am.
