Windward Community College in partnership with the State of Hawaii Department of Human Services (DHS) has created a new program to deliver assistance and support for college and workforce training.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) SNAP Employment and Training program is a federally funded program that is designed to help remove barriers and provide students with access to education and skills training opportunities so they can earn a living wage and achieve financial independence.
At Windward Community College it is called HINET Ho‘ola Ike (gift of knowledge) program.
