Location
Hawaii
The military is an important component of the population and economy of Hawaii. Nearly 100,000 military personnel and their families make up nearly ten percent of Hawaii’s population – the highest proportion of any state in the country. Hawaii is the headquarters for the commander of the U.S. Pacific Command and Pacific Fleet Command, as well as military installations that support all five services. The majority of the presence in Hawaii is concentrated on the Island of Oahu.
The University of Hawaii, Leeward Community College, is dedicated to supporting military and veteran students, as well as their family members. We recognize the unique experiences that come with serving in the armed forces. We are proud to partner with LIFT to provide advanced manufacturing training and certification to military personnel and their families in the State of Hawaii. Leeward Community College is centrally located in Oahu, less than 15 miles from bases representing all services.
