A major grant has been awarded to help address the growing shortage of qualified teachers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The funding will support efforts at a West Oʻahu campus to develop and retain educators in these critical disciplines. Initiatives are expected to focus on training programs and incentives aimed at encouraging more professionals to pursue teaching careers. This move comes as demand for STEM educators continues to outpace supply across the state.
