TIM Neighbor Island Seminars

TIM Neighbor Island Seminars are one-day seminars targeted for the hospitality and service-based industries. The program is held twice a year in October and March on Maui, Oʻahu, the Big Island, and Kauaʻi. The one-day format serves the needs of the busy manager. It reinforces what he or she already knows and helps to develop new skills to create the “value-added” professional. The seminars give managers a compact version of what is offered in the HIHI program. Participants who attend;the one-day seminar and desire more information and training often apply for HIHI in the summer as a follow-up course.
