Education and training to meet the growing demands
of Maui County's technology goals are high priorities
in our community.
The County
of Maui and State
of Hawaii are committed to initiatives that
support workforce development. Plans are underway
to develop Maui
Community College (MCC) into a four-year University
of Hawaii-Maui institution.
Currently, MCC's University of Hawaii Center (MCC/UCM)
offers a variety of technology-based programs
and remains a leader in distance education with
Internet-based curriculum providing 11 Bachelors
and 8 Masters degrees.
MCC/UCM is also the lead for a Rural Development
Project that provides customized training for
high-tech companies requiring specialized skill
sets. The new Technology Center boasts a state-of-the-art
instructional environment for electronics, computer
science, and digital media.
