Classes in Waimanalo will not be limited to just Native Hawaiians but open to individuals of any ethnicity. Holding ETP in the communities, gives students the opportunity to network with their fellow community members and focus on economic development in their own areas. The program will be under the direction of ETP Specialist, Wailani Bell, who has been teaching with the program since its inception in 1989. Wailani began her own business, Poi-Fectly Hawaiian, a dba of Wailani Originals Hula Girl Creations in November of 1979, which she operates on a part time basis. When working for others, opportunities are sometimes limited.
Entrepreneurs have a chance to turn dreams and visions into realities.
No business idea is too big or too small, and one should not be discouraged from pursuing their idea. Alu Like's program also provides students an opportunity to network with fellow Hawaiians in creating a unique learning environment. If interested in attending, contact the Alu Like's Business Development Center for more information and applications. After working hours you may leave a message.
