Welcome to the Pacific Center for Advanced Technology Training
the University of Hawaii Community College’s advanced technology training consortium
While PCATT continues to provide employers with both a quality entry level workforce and opportunities to up-skill current employees, we are also moving forward in several exciting areas. We are building pathways in the key technology sub-sectors designed to provide training opportunities that build on one another, leading a participant from short-term certifications to long-term certificates to degrees through a mix of credit and non-credit courses as appropriate.
We are also looking for new ways to work across sectors, improving the ways technology intersects with other industries such as transportation, manufacturing, clean energy and the creative industries among others.
So please explore our website and see the training opportunities currently being offered and come back often as new training opportunities are added. PCATT is committed to preparing residents around the state for success in all aspects of the technology sector, driven by one simple goal: A qualified local candidate for every technology job in our state.

Find Yourself in the Future - AI & Cybersecurity: How Generative AI is Reshaping Entry-level Cybersecurity Roles
Another Throw Back Thursday post for our Then & Now series:
Let's celebrate another piece of our history with Erin from 2010!
Erin was a vital part of the team, running the PCATT registration office. If you came through, you likely started right here at her desk!
When asked about her favorite memory, Erin didn't talk about paperwork; she talked about people.
"The people who worked at PCATT and who came through PCATT and HCC were my favorite part of the job!" Erin recalls. "Everyone had to walk past our office and often came in with questions. So when I set up a quote board in the office to post an inspiring quote every day, I loved seeing everyone's reactions. It was a little something to lift their spirits and bring a little peace to their world."
We're proud to say that the PCATT Inspiration Board is still in use every single day, a beautiful, lasting legacy of the positive culture Erin helped create at the front lines of our service!
Mahalo, @erinkuehara , for the peace and inspiration you brought to the hundreds of students you helped register!
