HONOLULU — The Hawaiʻi State Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) will host a free hiring event on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Keʻehi Lagoon Memorial, 2685 North Nimitz Highway. The event connects job seekers directly with hiring employers from across the state.

“We’re excited to open doors for local residents — especially our veterans and military spouses — by creating a space where they can discover meaningful careers and connect with employers eager to bring their talents on board,” said DLIR Director Jade T. Butay.

The DLIR will dedicate the first hour of the event (9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.) exclusively to veterans and military spouses, providing them with early access to speak directly with recruiters and explore available job openings. Employers from a wide range of industries will be on hand to share information and answer questions.
