Careers for young people on the East Side

[aline]

I would like to see more technical programs in the community college. There are so many possibilites but they have to leave and go to Oahu to take the courses. How about pharmacy techs,medical assistants,dental hygenists and more trade courses. Often these jobs are a starting point for kids to go further while being able to make a decent living.Also I think we need to reach more kids when they are younger by mentoring and tutoring in elementary and middle schools.We need to show them the value of education and the possibilities that it opens for them.I think free university is great but we need to prepare them to go to college
