The Hawaii Department of Human Resources Development hosts the Operation Hire Hawaii Recruitment Event over two days — 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. April 11 and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 12 — at the Hawaii Convention Center in Rooms 311 and 313.

Aligning with Gov. Josh Green’s Executive Order 25-02, Operation Hire Hawaii aims to recruit highly skilled professionals to address critical needs in the workforce across the state’s public sector in areas such as environmental protection, public health, infrastructure development, cybersecurity and economic policy.

“We’re looking for individuals interested in making a difference in their communities and we know that local people who want to stay in the islands have great contributions to make,” said Governor Green. “We are building a stronger Hawai‘i, and we want you to be part of our ʻohana.”

Twenty-five state agencies and departments, along with 16 City and County agencies will be at the event looking to hire qualified individuals to fill vacancies. In addition, state executive branch agencies will make career presentations in various fields to highlight what working in state government entails.

“The State of Hawaii offers more than just stable employment — it’s a pathway to a purpose-driven career with unmatched benefits, professional growth and long-term security,” said DHRD Director Brenna Hashimoto. “Whether you’re graduating high school, college, or switching careers, employment with the state is a smart move.”
