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.

Stop relying on just a password! 🔐
Think of your password as a single lock in a world full of digital lockpickers. Multifactor Authentication (MFA) adds a powerful extra layer of security that stops hackers in their tracks—even if they steal your password.
Why you need it:
Passwords can be leaked, guessed, or stolen.
MFA requires a second proof of identity (like a code or fingerprint).
It’s the simplest way to "double up" your security.
Pro-tip: For the best protection, use an authenticator app or a passkey instead of just SMS codes! 📱✨
Turn it on for your email, bank, and social media today.

Microsoft has released a detailed recovery guide to help you:
1. Uninstall the problematic app.
2. Restore standard Windows permissions via a batch file.
3. Regain access to your files and administrative tasks.
Note: The process takes about 15 minutes and requires Administrator access. Check out the full step-by-step guide from BleepingComputer below:
