Episode #88: (Rerun) The Power of Work-Based Learning Through Mentoring with Kyle Madriaga and Lord Ryan Lizardo

April 02, 2025 • Chamber of Commerce Hawaii

On this special rerun episode, Kyle Madriaga and Lord Ryan Lizardo discuss how providing real world work-based learning experiences for students is an investment in Hawaii’s workforce. In this episode, we highlight one valuable form of WBL: mentoring.

Business professionals of all ages and career levels can help to mentor Hawaii’s high school students to provide practical professional employability skills and opportunities to learn new concepts needed for the industry that may not be taught in the classroom. Through mentorship, leaders in our business community can grow Hawaii’s talent pipeline, stop the brain drain and create social capital.
