ACI Positions

Announcing a new initiative to nurture and grow knowledge-based work opportunities to fuel our emerging industries and innovation sectors.

More than 300 companies have expressed interest in publicizing the internship opportunities they have available. Everyday we expect more and more positions will be added to the job platform as more companies post their positions. Please check back regularly for updates.

We have host companies from every county and island and are hoping that our governmental leaders will see the success and embrace our hope to release additional funding to help more of our residents to participate in ACI.

ACI was created to provide the space to connect and create new opportunities in and for Hawaii from and with you.


If you have any questions, please reach out to us at info@edahawaii.org, and we will follow up with you.

Thank you for your interest in our Aloha Connects Innovation program.

All hiring for the program has passed and we are now planning for the completion of the program. If more funding becomes available in 2021, we will broadly announce the opportunity for residents and businesses to apply.

WHY ALOHA CONNECTS IS IMPORTANT?

It isn’t usually until crisis or dramatic changes in society that risk and opportunity lock steps.  In the past few decades there have been many attempts to create an innovation economy that would be a new leg in Hawaii's economy.  Like many good initiatives we've designed to correct what's weak or wrong and invited others to teach or fix us when quite possibly we've neglected what's always been our greatest resource.

Is it possible that this part of Hawaii's history inspires a statement that who we need to be is who we have always been?

We believe Aloha Connects Innovation is a nod to what has always been and must always be our greatest resource, other than our island home...you.  

We've come together to share, care, and embrace struggle to discover and recover the gifts that many have neglected and dismissed in ourselves.  We connect to create new opportunities in and for Hawaii from and with you.  We dream of a Hawaii where our economic measurement is not our belongings but how we use and share what we have to inspire belonging and lives lived well.
