New schedule will build on the success of the initial series to bring more Iowans into the fold of WBL programs

DES MOINES, IOWA – Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) and the Iowa Department of Education (DOE) are expanding their efforts to grow work-based learning (WBL) by introducing a new series of webinars over the next few months. The new schedule builds on the success of an initial WBL series last fall to showcase some of the most proven programs and approaches to WBL in Iowa’s most in-demand industries. 

The new webinar series kicked off this August, when two fire departments were featured to highlight how their WBL programs are working with community partners to help launch new careers. Five additional webinars will take place in the months ahead. 

Both employers and educators are highly encouraged to register for the series, which will help assist them in their efforts to explore and ultimately partner on meaningful WBL programs.
