College students celebrated the completion of their summer internships with a hōʻike at the KS Kapālama Kaʻiwakīloumoku Hawaiian Cultural Center. KS' Kāpili ʻOihana Internship Program is run by the Career and Post-High Counseling and Guidance Department. Its progam name transes to "build a career."
The 12-week program offers Native Hawaiian college students an opportunity to get hands-on experience working with professionals in their areas of interest. Participating businesses include the Keiki O Ka ʻĀina Family Learning Center and Partners in Development Foundation. Interns also develop 21st century skills, build professional networks, and increase their hiring potential upon graduation. Internships can be part-time or full-time and paid or unpaid.

Kamehameha Schools’ policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
