Iowans who want to find out what they are qualified to do can get certified for free through “Skilled Iowa,” an initiative of Iowa Workforce Development.
For more than a year, “Skilled Iowa” has been using a nationally recognized approach to assess Iowans’ skills and abilities, assist them in skill development and improvement, and match them with employers who have job openings. Certification through Skilled Iowa assures employers that workers have what it takes to fill job openings.
Over the last year, more than 27,000 Iowans have earned a credentialed certificate, and more than 6,700 employers have become Skilled Iowa member businesses. To learn more about what Skilled Iowa can offer Iowa job seekers and employers, go to www.skillediowa.org.
