Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Hilo teams
Hawaii County counts 59,143 private-sector jobs (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27) spread over 4,400 employer establishments, and 96 percent of those establishments have fewer than 50 employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023, retrieved 2026-07-27). Most run lean HR teams. When one manager mishandles a complaint, there is rarely a specialist down the hall to catch it.
Catapult was founded in Charlotte in 1958 and today trains Hawaii teams live online.

Hawaii employment context
HR compliance for Hawaii employers
Hawaii does not require private employers to run harassment prevention training. Hawaii’s fair employment law (HRS chapter 378) covers employers of any size and is enforced by the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission; the EEOC recorded 218 Hawaii charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27). With coverage starting at the first employee, even the smallest Hilo businesses carry harassment liability. Documented manager training on a fixed cycle is the recognized way to show reasonable care under federal case law. For Hilo employers, Catapult’s instructor-led online sessions cover this ground and document it.
Employment law guidance reviewed by Karol Dixon, Senior HR Advisor, and Cindy Satter, Senior HR Advisor, SHRM-SCP, PHR. See Catapult HR Advisors.

Good to know
Hilo HR training questions
Does Hawaii employment law cover very small businesses?
Yes. HRS chapter 378 applies to employers with 1 or more employees, so nearly every Hilo business is covered, unlike federal Title VII which starts at 15. The Hawaii Civil Rights Commission enforces it. Small teams benefit most from trained managers, since no HR department sits behind them.
Yes. Every session is live online and open to anyone in Hawaii. Sessions are scheduled on Eastern Time and Hilo is on 5 to 6 hours behind Eastern depending on the season, so afternoon Eastern sessions land mid-morning in Hawaii. In-person seats exist only in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; everywhere else attends virtually.
Leadership and management, harassment prevention and compliance, professional development, technology skills and HR certification prep, delivered live online or privately on-site. The compliance and frontline-management courses map directly to the people issues hospitality and food service employers around Hilo handle daily.
Yes, most courses carry both HRCI and SHRM recertification credit. That matters locally: the Hawaii statewide area employs 2,570 HR specialists (BLS OEWS, May 2025), and each needs 60 recertification credits every 3 years. Completion records arrive after every session.
Yes. Catapult delivers private training for Hilo organizations two ways: facilitators travel to your site, or run a live online session reserved for your team, scheduled around your calendar and your time zone.
