Employee Training Programs
Iowa has one of the most productive
and educated workforces in the nation. To help Iowa companies maintain
their competitive edge, the Iowa Economic Development Authority will help you
develop a workforce and training program to meet the specific needs of your company.
Iowa’s Employee Training Programs have evolved from a business expansion incentive tool into a comprehensive,
targeted human resource tool available to all Iowa businesses.
Iowa’s industry-driven workforce development programs and services enhance Iowa’s
economic well-being by increasing the skills of an already productive Iowa workforce.
Iowans, with their unmatched work ethic, are acquiring skills that will improve
the competitiveness of Iowa businesses.
By leveraging training resources, filling funding gaps in human resource development
initiatives, and sponsoring business consortia that address common employment training
needs, the skills of Iowa’s workers are enhanced, allowing its industries to grow.
