Who We Are
RDP began in 1997 with $200,000 to address the need for retraining the Lanai workforce following the closing of pineapple production.  Today, RDP receives an annual appropriation of about $3.2 million to serve all rural communities throughout the state with workforce training and community economic development.  Managed by the University of Hawaii community colleges, over 22,000 people have been positively impacted – firemen, police recruits, lifeguards, school custodians, UXO workers, Pearl Harbor Shipyard and Pacific Missile Range workers, nurses and nurse assistants, dialysis workers, teachers, information tech workers, construction trades and culinary/food service workers.
