Re: Bridge to Hope funded Summer Employment
The Hawaiʻi State Dept. of Human Services’ First-to-Work program partners with the Univ. of Hawaiʻi to establish and fund Bridge to Hope, including on-campus employment for eligible client students. Revised First-to-Work procedures now offer Bridge to Hope on-campus employment through summer session without requiring summer enrollment (pg 6 attached). This change in policy benefits and supports FTW / BTH client students. Students may still enroll in summer sessions (full or part-time) and request First-to-Work funding assistance, but it is no longer required for summer employment.
