Hawaii

Hawaii is an SAA state and is not right-to-work. Trade licensing is administered by the Dept. of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) through two boards: the Board of Electricians and Plumbers, and the Contractors License Board. Hawaii does not issue individual journeyman/master trade licenses; all work is performed under a company's licensed contractor classification.

Apprenticeship system.

Hawaii is a State Apprenticeship Agency (SAA) state — it runs its own apprenticeship system separately from the federal RAPIDS database. Rules, reporting, and enforcement happen at the state level. You may see different program standards than a neighboring RAPIDS state.
