Sir:
Your Committees on Higher Education and Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 1013 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to broaden the education and career choices of Hawaii's students by increasing the availability of experiential learning opportunities. Specifically, this bill appropriates funds for the University of Hawaii to:
(1) Research and develop a statewide web-based database of experiential learning opportunities; and
(2) Perform a study to identify and determine barriers to businesses and organizations that wish to volunteer to provide experiential learning opportunities to students.
The Workforce Development Council and CTA Solutions testified in support of this bill. The Department of Education and Hawaii P-20 Initiative supported the intent of this measure.
Your Committees have amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the appropriation amounts to $1 to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Higher Education and Labor & Public Employment that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1013, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1013, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Higher Education and Labor & Public Employment,
