Hawai‘i residents seeking a work-from-home set-up can utilize the Hawai‘i Remote Work Project website for opportunities.
The initiative is a partnership between the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) and the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT).
“The Hawai‘i Remote Work Pilot Project website creates a digital online presence that is helping to pivot the State towards a digital economy and focus on creative and technology innovation as part of the Hawaii 2.0 Pillars and Goals,” Gov. David Ige said. “This website brings together economic and workforce development opportunities to best serve the current and future needs of our communities as we build a stronger, more resilient economy for the future for our keiki. Coupled with the launch of AWS Cloud Based Training in April of this year, this is another tool targeted at expanding the export of professional services to increase Hawai‘i’s economic resilience.”
Through the Hawaii Remote Work Project, residents are offered direct links to its partners and the local American Job Center, according to a press release from the Office of the Governor.
Job seekers can access the project’s partners including NexRep, which provides remote work opportunities, remote business hiring opportunities and is linked with the Workforce Development Council’s Workforce Resiliency Initiative.
The website can also be utilized by employers looking to hire Hawai‘i residents for remote work and will be aware of labor law information for hiring a remote Hawai‘i workforce.
