This page contains links to most recent WIOA Unified State Plan.

Excerpt from an older state plan: “Iowa’s  workforce  delivery  systems  will  collaborate  to  build  a  Future  Ready  Iowa  -a pipeline  of  skilled  workers  who  are  prepared  to  meet  the  workforce  needs  of  Iowa’s current and emerging industries. In alignment with the National Governor’s Association Talent  PIPEline  vision  and  goals,  this  unified  plan  will  ensure  individuals  are  prepared  for dynamic careers through an emphasis on lifelong learning while meeting the needs of  employers.  Iowa’s  workforce  delivery  system  will  assist  more  Iowans  to  become  Future Ready by attaining the “new minimum” of high-quality education, training, and work   readiness   by   bringing   together   education,   rehabilitation,   workforce,   and   economic  development  resources  and  ensuring  that  all  Iowans  have  access  to  an  integrated  and  efficient  workforce  delivery  system.  Future  Ready  Iowans  will  be  ready  to  meet  the  employment  challenges  of  today  and  into  the  future  so  that  ALL  Iowans  work in competitive, integrated employment settings.”
