A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO A MARITIME YOUTH APPRENTICESHIP PATHWAY PROGRAM.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
The legislature further finds that Hawaii faces persistent workforce shortages in maritime occupations due to an aging workforce, limited training pipelines, and insufficient exposure of young people to viable, high-wage career pathways. Many young adults lack access to hands-on, paid training opportunities that lead directly to family-sustaining employment, contributing to youth out-migration and the loss of local talent.
The legislature recognizes that maritime careers provide strong earning potential, transferable technical skills, and meaningful work closely connected to Hawaii's island geography and ocean-based economy. Expanding structured apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship pathways for individuals ages sixteen to twenty-four will create new opportunities for local youth to remain in Hawaii while entering skilled, in-demand professions.
The legislature further finds the university of Hawaii community college system has demonstrated expertise in technical education, workforce training, and apprenticeship-aligned instruction. The community college system is well positioned to build upon the current momentum of the existing youth pre‑apprenticeship work of Windward community college and Kailua high school and lead a comprehensive, statewide study on the development of a maritime youth apprenticeship pathway.
The legislature also finds that in accordance with article X, section 6, of the Hawaii State Constitution, this Act involves a matter of statewide concern.
Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to develop apprenticeship opportunities in maritime occupations by:
(1) Requiring the university of Hawaii community college system to conduct a study and develop a plan for a state-sponsored maritime youth apprenticeship pathway program;
(2) Establishing clear accountability and reporting requirements for the study; and
(3) Appropriating funds to support this work,
without prematurely establishing or mandating a permanent program structure.
SECTION 2. (a) The university of Hawaii community college system, together with Honolulu community college and Windward community college, shall conduct a comprehensive study and develop a plan for a state-sponsored maritime youth apprenticeship pathway program serving individuals sixteen to twenty-four years of age.
(b) The university of Hawaii community college system shall be provided with the necessary workforce and enrollment data to support the study's findings from:
(1) The department of business, economic development, and tourism;
(2) The department of education; and
(3) The department of labor and industrial relations.
The university of Hawaii community college system shall also request the participation of maritime industry employers and labor representatives, including shipyards, port and harbor operators, marine transportation companies, and marine service providers.
(c) The study and apprenticeship plan shall include:
(1) A list of curriculum and instructional requirements that align with secondary and postsecondary career and technical education opportunities;
(2) An assessment of how the program will meet state and federal apprenticeship standards and provide industry‑recognized credentials;
(3) An outline of the pathway from high school coursework and pre-apprenticeship into postsecondary training and registered apprenticeships;
(4) An assessment of employer engagement strategies, including paid on-the-job training opportunities, mentorships, and work-based learning models;
(5) Any resource requirements, including faculty and staff, facilities, equipment, and administrative support;
(6) Any funding considerations and potential public‑private partnership models; and
(7) Implementation options, including discussions of pilot phases, scalability, and geographic reach.
SECTION 3. The university of Hawaii community college system shall submit a report of its findings and recommendations, including a proposed program structure, estimated costs, implementation options, and any proposed legislation, to the legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the regular session of 2027.
SECTION 4. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $ or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2026-2027 to conduct a study and develop a plan for a maritime youth apprenticeship pathway program, including faculty and staff needs, research and analysis, stakeholder engagement, curriculum and pathway design, and reporting requirements.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by the university of Hawaii for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 5. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $ or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2026-2027 to cover the costs of a temporary project coordinator, data consultants, and statewide industry workshops.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by the university of Hawaii for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 6. This Act shall take effect on July 31, 2055.

Regular Session of 2026
State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committee on Labor, to which was referred H.B. No. 2416, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO A MARITIME YOUTH APPRENTICESHIP PATHWAY PROGRAM,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the University of Hawaiʻi System; Hawaiʻi Harbors Users Group; The Maritime Group; Hawaii Transportation Association; Chamber of Commerce Hawaii; and Kapolei Chamber of Commerce.
Your Committee finds that Hawaii's maritime industry is essential to the State's economic resilience and emergency readiness, yet longstanding workforce shortages threaten the sector's long-term stability. Your Committee further finds that many young people lack exposure to or access to structured training pathways that lead to high-wage maritime careers, causing the State to lose potential homegrown talent to out‑migration. Your Committee believes that conducting a comprehensive study to design a statewide youth apprenticeship pathway will help develop a sustainable talent pipeline by aligning training, employer engagement, and workforce needs.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2416, H.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.

H.D. 1
Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2026
State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 2416 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO A MARITIME YOUTH APPRENTICESHIP PATHWAY PROGRAM,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the University of Hawaiʻi System; Hawaii Transportation Association; The Maritime Group; Hawaiʻi Harbors Users Group; Chamber of Commerce Hawaii; and two individuals. Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Department of the Attorney General.
Your Committee finds that Hawaii faces persistent workforce shortages in maritime occupations due to an aging workforce, limited training pipelines, and insufficient exposure of young people to viable, high-wage career pathways. By expanding structured apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship pathways within the University of Hawaii Community College System, young adults will have access to hands-on, paid training opportunities that lead directly to family-sustaining employment and lessening youth out-migration and the loss of local talent.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Amending language in the preamble to acknowledge existing youth pre-apprenticeship work;
(2) Clarifying that developing apprenticeship opportunities in maritime occupations for young adults is a matter of statewide concern;
(3) Clarifying the role of the University of Hawaii Community College System, Honolulu Community College, and Windward Community College in conducting the study, developing a statewide plan, and reporting to the Legislature;
(4) Adding the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations to the list of state agencies from which data is to be collected;
(5) Adding an appropriation for an unspecified amount for the cost of a temporary project coordinator, data consultants, and statewide industry workshops;
(6) Changing the effective date to July 1, 3000, to encourage further discussion; and
(7) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2416, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2416, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Labor.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education,
