Central Iowa Works Funding Collaborative

Central Iowa Works’ mission is to develop a world-class workforce system that meets the needs of both employers and workers and aligns with economic development goals. A world-class workforce system supports: unemployed and underemployed workers (including minority and disabled populations); individuals with educational, cultural, and language barriers to employment; individuals reentering the community after incarceration; and low-skilled individuals for employment in non-traditional occupations (women in the construction trades).
