Future Ready Iowa Website

A new resource is available to help Iowans review and evaluate different career opportunities in the state and plan their paths to landing rewarding jobs. Launched last month by Gov. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, the new Future Ready Iowa website is a result of the collaborative efforts between many state agencies, including Iowa Workforce Development, Iowa Economic Development Authority, Iowa Department of Education, and the Iowa College Student Aid Commission. The Future Ready Iowa website is a mobile-friendly, one-stop shop where students and adults can find high-demand career opportunities in Iowa, identify education and training needed as well as financial resources that may be available. It features career exploration resources using information on high-demand jobs as well as labor market Information to identify the number of jobs, the average median income and what training is necessary. More information about career pathways will be added in coming months.
