To keep its College and community constituents informed about important and current issues, Community Education and Workforce Development (formerly called Community and Continuing Education) created the Kaiāulu Series in 2020 as lectures. When the Pandemic struck, CCE pivoted to online delivery in 2021 as the Kaiāulu Webinar Series and offered critically needed health, safety, resources, Do It Yourself (DIY), and workforce training programs. This successful series continues to this day and welcomes program suggestions.
