Merit Appeals Board <br />October 27, 2022 <br />insurance—it's how much are you're going to pay me that was—and opportunities for <br />advancement. <br />So, we really promoted working for the County of Hawaii in other aspects, like, we're very <br />community focused. And interestingly enough, a large percentage of the students we talked to <br />were focused on environment, civil engineeringso, we had to promote that. And now we <br />know what to gear our marketing and advertising for the County is, right, when we look for <br />engineers. <br />So, it was a great opportunity for us. We connected with the dean of the college of engineering. <br />And so, he's offered other opportunities for us to actually be on campus and do interviews or <br />meet with students, do orientation. So, I think—and that has opened doors with other <br />organizations and associations. So, I'm glad we did participate. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Did any of those 100 apply for our—for the recruitments. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: No, they didn't because the engineering class the civil engineer I <br />requires them to have a degree, which most of them were still senior students juniors and <br />seniors. But we were trying to create that pipeline and get them interested when they were—we <br />handed out a lot of business cards for them to reach out to us once they're ready to go. <br />And I can tell you that about 10 of them were really excited about moving to the Big Island—and <br />so, would be reaching out to us. <br />MR. KUNZ: Waylen, thank you for the detail. I think with the recruitment/examination I <br />know there's this one paragraph but the details on those things, I think, kind of stir some <br />discussion and interaction. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. <br />MR. KUNZ: I had one comment because I know that there are so many things that you can <br />share with us, but is there now or will be, like, a formal interfacing with the American Job <br />Centers? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yeah. Actually, through the community resource fair that we did at the <br />Prince Kuhio Plaza, we connected even more with American Job Center. So, the Housing <br />Coordinator, Royce, is going to—he links us up with a lot of events and we're working closely <br />with Denise Pacheco, I think, she's the coordinator there. <br />So, we're doing more and more events with them where there's a two-way communication now. <br />We're looping them in on what we got going on and then Denise and Royce are good about <br />looping us in. So, there is definitely a partnership building there. <br />MR. KUNZ: Thank you. <br />Page 17 <br />
