About HAWAII WORKFORCE PIPELINE INC

Hawaii Workforce Pipeline (HWP) is a Kailua-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that serves as a work-based learning intermediary for K–12 students, primarily in the Windward and Honolulu school districts. It brokers partnerships between schools and local employers to deliver career fairs, classroom engagements, guest speakers, mock interviews, internships, apprenticeships, and professional development for educators. Since formalizing as a nonprofit intermediary in 2020, HWP has scaled rapidly: in the 2024–25 school year it documented substantial program activity (including thousands of students, dozens of industry mentors, and hundreds of internship opportunities) and has secured multi-year grant funding and state partnerships to expand its services. HWP files annual Form 990s and is registered as a charitable organization with the State of Hawaii under FEIN 85-1664697.
