KALIHI \u2014 Fourteen Farrington High School seniors are making history as the first graduates of a high school-based Phlebotomy Training Program \u2013 earning professional experience, college credit, and a pathway into health care careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launched this spring in partnership with the Blood Bank of Hawai\u2018i, the Farrington Phlebotomy Training Program is the first of its kind in the nation. The program paid and hired Health Academy seniors as trainee employees, giving them hands-on experience working with certified medical staff in a clinical setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the end of the program, students earn at least three college-level credits and have the opportunity to receive a professional phlebotomy certificate \u2013 credentials that can open doors to further education or immediate employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis program shows what\u2019s possible when education and industry come together with purpose,\u201d said Superintendent Keith Hayashi. \u201cFarrington\u2019s inaugural class gained real-world skills through hands-on experience, reflecting both leadership and a commitment to public service. Through partnerships like this one with Blood Bank of Hawaii, our students are better prepared to compete globally and serve their community locally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The curriculum goes beyond technical training. Students also develop critical soft skills \u2013 including communication, teamwork, adaptability, and time management \u2013 to build confidence and prepare for the workforce. The model is inspired by physician residency programs and is designed to support students whether they plan to attend college, start working, or both.
\u201cCongratulations to the graduating students, from all of us at Blood Bank of Hawaii. We are proud to have been part of their unique educational experience,\u201d said Kim-Anh Nguyen, MD, Blood Bank of Hawaii CEO. \u201cGraduates of this program have the potential to truly make a difference in their communities with their newfound skills and knowledge. By investing in students today, we are investing in Hawaii\u2019s healthcare workforce of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the program\u2019s success, the Department and the Blood Bank of Hawai\u2018i are looking to expand the training model to other high school health academies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
