Dear Art,
The Office of the Mayor and the staff of the West Hawai'i Civic Center would like to invite
interested West Hawai'i Grade 10, sophomores to participate in our Government Career Day.
Government, and significantly county government, is one of the largest employers on Hawai'i
Island, and we believe a career with the county is one that is both satisfying and honorable. As
such, our goal will be to promote career awareness in government employment.
We will do this by first presenting an orientation of the facility in a large group setting, and then
touring various departments in smaller groups so students can gather information about
qualifications, educational requirements and experience necessary for a career in government.
Our plan is to do a follow-up activity in the near future with interested students and staff mentor
related to career shadowing.
Government Career Day will be held from 9.00am to Noon on Friday, February 15, 2019 and
will begin in Building A. Refreshments including a light lunch will be provided. Please reply by
December 13, 2018 so we may prepare for a successful day. Space is limited.
We look forward to hearing from you. Please contact Barbara Kossow at 323-4448 or
Barbara. kossowCc�hawaiicounty.gov to RSVP or for more information.
