PART I. 
FINDINGS AND PURPOSE



 



§373C-1  Findings.  The legislature
finds that there is a need to coordinate the efforts of a variety of
employment-related agencies, programs, and activities, for the purpose of
strengthening employment, training, and educational planning and delivery of
services.  Promoting this coordination can be achieved best through the
development of an occupational and career information planning base.  A Hawaii
occupational information system could meet the common needs of vocational
education programs and employment and training programs if it contained data on
occupational demand and supply based on uniform definitions, standardized
estimating procedures, and common classification codes.  This occupational
information must be geared to the career decision-making process of youth, as
well as to the administrative needs of educational and training planning.  The
delivery of career information is needed to improve the match of youth career
desires with available and anticipated labor demand. [L 1983, c 193, pt of §1;
