HONOLULU COMMUNITY COLLEGE (HCC) AT HONOLULU, HAWAII


SMALL VESSEL FABRICATION AND REPAIR EDUCATION AT HCC MARINE EDUCATION AND TRAINING CENTER, SAND ISLAND

HCC

As one of eight schools comprising the University of Hawaii Community College System, Honolulu Community College has evolved into a fully comprehensive community college. The Main Campus, a short distance from the heart of Honolulu on Dillingham Boulevard, offers liberal arts instruction leading to a two-year Associate in Arts degree, allowing students to transfer credits to achieve junior class standing at four-year higher education institutions within the State.

The college also has facilities near Honolulu International Airport, at Kalaeloa Airport (Kapolei), on Kokea Street, and at Sand Island that currently offer Associate in Science, Associate in Applied Science, and Associate in Technical Studies degrees. Certificate programs in more than twenty Career and Technical Education areas that are integrated with a strong general education “core’’ help Honolulu CC provide an educated citizenry for the workforce of the State of Hawai‘i.

HCC Marine Education and Training Center offers state of the art training equipment and facilities, as well as outstanding personnel. The training facility is located right where the action is, at Keehi Lagoon. Four huge work bays accommodate marine vessels up to 40 feet in length and there are modern classrooms and a working waterfront environment. This means the vessels can be hauled out and launched, masts can be stepped, and repairs actually made in the water. These entire special features contribute to the HCC Marine Education and Training Center's ranking as the premier training facility in the United States.
