INTERMEDIARY WORK-BASED LEARNING GRANTS

Governor Kim Reynolds announced a new $1.5 million Statewide Intermediary Work-based Learning Grant to help Iowa high school students experience one-on-one contact with potential employers and help them make informed decisions about postsecondary education and careers.
