Vocational Services Chair: Bobby Stivers-Apiki Committee: Newton Chu, Laurie Bass, Joe Hanley, Chuck Porter, Christina Dhillion This year we provided members of the Waiakea High School Interact Club members to visit and learn about their choice of professional interests. Five interested students on their school holiday volunteered to spend at least two hours with a Rotarian learning as much about that business as possible. Three students were interested in nursing and shadowed at the Veterans hospital in Hilo. Another student was interested in tourism and shadowed with a lodging and adventure tour company. I wanted to participate because I wanted to learn how real nurses work and help their patients The students were invited to a Rotary lunch meeting and were introduced and shared their eperiences. The students would like to have another Career Day. The started a new literacy project reading to kindergarten children. Teachers from 10 elementary schools committed their time and effort for their students to participate in the read-a-loud program. During the National Teacher Appreciation Week of May 5 9, Rotarians that are regular readers will present a Rotary Teacher Appreciation Certificate and a $25 Office Ma gift card for their enthusiasm and commitment.

VOCATIONAL SERVICE Networking Group : One of the goals of D5000 this year was to increase the value of Rotary Membership by returning to the basics of Rotary with an emphasis on NetWorking. We established a very successful networking program which meets quarterly. The progression of the group has included the Meet & Greet; Introduction to Networking; How to ask the Difficult Questions; Do s and Don ts of Networking; Proper Attire and Attitude for Networking; Etiquette of Networking; What to do After the Meet; How to Maimize the Benefits of Networking; and, will conclude the year in June with our Employer and Employee of the Year Awards to non-rotarian nominees. We also had membership drives associated with these networking events where we encouraged members to bring guests in order to increase our membership. We have seen the attendance at the sessions grow and have been successful in obtaining a few new members in previously unrepresented vocations as well. Supporting UH Med School Training Opportunities: Our association with the John A Burns School of Medicine H.O.M.E. Program has provided some unique opportunities. Previously the medical school was limited to providing care at hospitals. Now through the retrofitting of the H.O.M.E. Mobile Medical Van, the UH Med Students and students in the Social Works fields can go out into the community and provide much needed medical care and counseling to the most needy of our residents on Oahu. An RV had been donated to UH and our Rotary Chapter contributed to the retrofit of the interior to provide for the mobile medivan. Through the program, we have provided new training opportunities and counseling services to our homeless and needy community. Vocational Tours: The vocational tours this Rotary year focused on new or trending businesses on Oahu. We ve toured successful restaurants and heard from the owners and chefs and the techniques they used to become successful in a very difficult market. Our members were eposed to film making in India while touring a museum of Bollywood film memorabilia. At the UH Medical School training facilities, our members participated in a hands-on demonstration of how doctors treat patients and what could happen if they are not paying attention. The UH hosts worked with the Rotary Chapters members demonstrating with the use of robot patients in the study labs. Needless to say, not many of the robot patients recovered to good health after our Rotarians provided their treatment. It was one of the most well attended off sites we have ever eecuted. Coming soon is our final tour of the year to the KCC Culinary Program for a first-hand look at what is involved in REALLY learning how to work with food. Member Vocation Introductions and Industry Updates. How the 4 way test influences your decisions: We have focused on encouraging the new members joining our club to present an introduction to their industry and their company. Throughout the year our members regularly present Industry Updates and Breaking news. New this year is the incorporation on how the use of the 4 way test has influenced their business decision-making process and improved their business. Submission Deadline: 1 April 2014

A narrative follows: Yes No Submission Deadline: 1 April 2014 Vocational Tour at the Institute for Human Services (IHS) benefited our club is many ways as well as the place we were touring. First, we made the tour a Member Mier with the idea that we would encourage our membership to come in the evening to this facility and take a tour of it and bring potential members. Tell your friends to come and see the kinds of places we help we said to our members. One of our members was the Development Director for the program and our Club President works closely with the program so our club was able to see the kinds of programs that help people that are unsheltered. The club has made homelessness a priority this year starting out with a program speaker, Sara Yuan from the University of Hawaii giving the club an overview of the problem. This vocational tour was key in a 9 part series of activities for our club. Every attendee on the tour brought a care package and left it with HIS for residents that were moving to apartments. Vocational Tour at The Groove gave us an opportunity to visit a Rotarian s brand new business that he has opened up. We were able to see that he has hired someone that he met through our Youth Services Program and is mentoring in his business. There were 6 potential members that attended and this Member Mier was a fun evening filled with fellowship, great food and drinks along with some race car driving The atmosphere was entirely different from our country club venue so Rotarians, guests, family, and potential members were able to share about their vocations as well as enjoy each other s company. 12
The Vocational Board is a new project that engages Rotarians in sharing more about our vocational life. It also encourages networking and doing business with one another. We are asked to bring in our business card and place it under our classification. In doing this we can get better acquainted with what we do and where we work. Fellow members can echange information easily and not only rely on our club website. Talking Story at the board and sharing encourages business sharing. Vocational Minutes provide members with a chance to hear from one another at the podium specifically about what a member does for a living. Various members are asked by the Vocational Chair to come to the podium and share about their business and industry. 13
