Dear Larry Ellison,
SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ELLISON TRAINING SCHOOL FOR SKILLING AND RE-SKILLING
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to introduce our organization and express our intent to develop the Ellison Training School for Skilling and Re-Skilling. We firmly believe in the significance of addressing the diverse ethnic and economic challenges faced by the citizens of Hawaii, particularly Native Hawaiians and the Marshallese.
ND Enterprises is committed to creating sustainable solutions that empower individuals and communities through education and skills development. We have conducted extensive research on the unique needs and circumstances of Hawaii's population, recognizing the pressing need for comprehensive training programs to uplift individuals from rural, poverty-stricken, and formerly incarcerated backgrounds.
The Ellison Training School aims to bridge the educational and economic disparities prevalent among Native Hawaiians and the Marshallese by providing them with cutting-edge technology education. Our proposal encompasses a holistic approach that focuses on skilling and re-skilling individuals for strong, new industries such as artificial intelligence, 3D printing, robotics, and many others.
The key components of our proposal include:
In-depth training curriculum: We will develop a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the technology sector.
Personalized instruction: With a student-teacher ratio of 5:1, we will prioritize individualized attention and support to ensure optimal learning outcomes.
State-of-the-art infrastructure: The Ellison Training School will operate in a leased space equipped with the latest technology and resources, creating an environment conducive to effective learning.
Partnerships and collaborations: We aim to collaborate with industry stakeholders, trade unions, and high-tech credentialing programs like the Google Certificate program to provide participants with diverse training opportunities.
Evaluation and sustainability: An evaluation plan will be implemented to assess the impact and success of the training school, while exploring sustainable funding models through partnerships with government agencies, private corporations, and philanthropic organizations.
We firmly believe that the Ellison Training School will be a transformative initiative in addressing the diverse needs of Hawaii's population, fostering economic growth, and empowering individuals to secure gainful employment or pursue entrepreneurial ventures.
We kindly request your support and guidance in developing this essential project. We would be delighted to discuss this proposal further and explore potential avenues for collaboration. Attached, please find the complete proposal document for your review.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to work together towards the betterment of Hawaii's communities and the empowerment of its citizens.

Both communities face unique challenges, including economic stagnation, poverty, and limited access to quality education.
THE NEED FOR SKILLING AND RE-SKILLING IN HAWAII
Hawaii's diverse population, particularly Native Hawaiians and the Marshallese, requires targeted efforts to address economic disparities and foster sustainable growth. Skilling and re-skilling programs are crucial to empower individuals from rural, poverty-stricken, and formerly incarcerated backgrounds to access high-demand industries.

EVALUATION PLAN
An effective evaluation plan will be implemented to assess the impact and success of the Ellison Training School. Various evaluation methods, such as pre- and post-training assessments, surveys, and feedback sessions, will be utilized to measure the participants' learning outcomes, satisfaction levels, and employment outcomes.
