After a work injury ended my construction career, I knew getting a college education was essential for moving forward with my life. I'm so grateful Hawai'i Community College – Pālamanui was here when I needed it most.

Attending Hawai'i Community College was the most important and best step I have ever taken to better my future. My experience at Hawai‘i CC was by far one of the best experiences of my life. Hawai‘i CC was very accommodating to my schedule, and it is definitely nice to have a college that was affordable and nearby.
