EnglishWhat employment services does the Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations offer?
Updated
The Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) offers employment services for both job seekers and employers through its website, labor.hawaii.gov. For job seekers, the main resources are HireNet Hawaii (the state job board), the Hele Imua Internship Program, and Veteran Services. Employers can access workforce services and unemployment insurance services through the same site. These services are listed under the "Employment Services" section of the DLIR home page.
Employment Services for Job Seekers
HireNet Hawaii
HireNet Hawaii is the state's job resource, listed under Employment Services on the DLIR site. It functions as the state job board where job seekers can search openings and connect with employers. If you are looking for work in Hawaii, this is the primary starting point on the DLIR website.
Hele Imua Internship Program
The Hele Imua Internship Program is also listed under Employment Services. It provides internship opportunities, which can be useful if you are entering the workforce, changing careers, or looking for work experience in Hawaii.
Veteran Services
Veteran Services is listed as a separate item under Employment Services. If you are a veteran, this section points you to employment assistance tailored to veterans.
Consultation & Training (HIOSH)
Consultation & Training under HIOSH (Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health) is listed under Employment Services. This is a workplace safety and health resource rather than a job placement service, so it is most relevant if you are an employer or worker seeking safety consultation and training.
Employment Services for Employers
The DLIR site lists two employer-focused items:
- Employer Unemployment Insurance Services – for employers handling unemployment insurance matters.
- Employer Workforce Services – for employers seeking workforce-related services.
These sit alongside the job seeker resources, so the site serves both sides of the labor market.
