Hawaiʻi’s New Internship Program | Honolulu News

Hawaiʻi’s Department of Education is launching a bold new paid internship program for high schoolers, investing $1.8 million over two years to train students in critical industries like aviation and agriculture—guaranteeing them $20/hour while businesses get hands-on help. At Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, teens like Devin Araki are learning to repair and fly planes, building paths to FAA certification and airline careers. Meanwhile, Aloun Farms gives interns a full business education across departments, from crop care to sales. These pilot programs end in July but aim to expand statewide—creating a win-win: skilled youth ready for work and businesses solving talent shortages.
