ClimbHI Exposure Fair Introduces
Students to Varied Career Paths

Fifty students and teachers from seven schools across Hawaii Island, including Kohala High School, participated in the ClimbHI West Hawaii Exposure Fair on September 3.

Fifty-eight businesses and organizations participated from industries including hospitality, tourism, and fashion and beauty; aeronautical and maritime transportation; engineering, architecture and construction; law enforcement and military; healthcare and health services; education; nonprofits; and much more.

The event, which reimagines and transforms the hiring process, was held at The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort. The fi rst-ever West Hawaii Exposure Fair was held in December 2023.

Exposure Fairs are more eff ective than typical career fairs due in part to the “speed-dating” style that allows participants to uncover more opportunities. Businesses also benefit from dedicated time with participants by sharing career paths that lead to economic self-sufficiency here in our islands. By exposing students to high-quality careers with a clear progression plan well before graduation, we are helping them understand the requirements and experience needed to begin their path to success.
