Our Mission
Introduce Listeners to the Opportunities and Ideas That Strengthen Iowa's Workforce.
Mission: Employable was launched by Iowa Workforce Development to focus on the meaningful conversations, programs, and people who are driving growth in Iowa's workforce.
We feature conversations with industry professionals. The topics include a variety of programs, resources, and training opportunities. This is all to help Iowans reach their employment goals. Whether you are an employer looking to expand your workforce or a job seeker looking for a new career, the podcast has something for everyone!
Hosted by Ben Oldach, the Mission: Employable Podcast welcomes you to the workforce conversation.
About the Podcast in 2026
The Mission: Employable Podcast is back on the air, with a new approach that we hope will make Iowaβs central workforce podcast more meaningful and insightful. Instead of releasing shorter, more frequent episodes, IWD will take a deeper dive to highlight the perspective, challenges, and solutions driving new movement across the workforce.
