Introducing the New Mobile App for Apprentices
In an era where technology has become our lifeline, the Hawaii Carpenters Apprenticeship & Training Fund (HCATF) is excited to introduce a significant advancement in our training and communication methods. As we embraced a digital shift across all facets of life, HCATF has been proactive in adopting and enhancing technology to support our community. We’re proud to announce the launch of the HCATF Mobile App, a tool designed to streamline the apprenticeship experience.
Embracing Technology in Education
As the world adapted to remote working and learning, HCATF recognized the need to transform our educational delivery and administrative processes. The shift to digital is not just a response to the pandemic but a step forward in making our programs more accessible and efficient. The introduction of the HCATF Mobile App is a testament to our commitment to innovation and continuous improvement.
About the HCATF Mobile App
The journey to developing the HCATF Mobile App began in 2019, through collaborative efforts with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters (UBC) and dedicated external developers. As a pioneer in the field, the app serves as a model for other training centers nationwide.
“Our apprentices are at the heart of everything we do,” says the HCATF Executive Director. “This app is more than a convenience; it’s a central part of our strategy to provide continuous, accessible education and communication.”

Not only does the app serve apprentices, but it also provides tailored functionalities for journeymen, instructors, contractors, and even guests interested in exploring the apprenticeship program.
