Thank you to all who attended our BEA Symposium on Friday to align and share best practices on intercultural competencies and English language learning opportunities for Iowa’s growing workforce.

There were many fantastic conversations between IBC member company representatives, BEA member institution representatives, and community program leaders. We look forward to seeing where these paths go from here.

It's official. Senate concurs with the House amendment. Work-based learning bill is done!

Great updates and $$$ to fund meaningful #workbasedleanring experiences for Iowa high school students. Critical tool to retain our population and increase our talent pipeline.

Really happy to see the IA House Appropriations Committee pass the #workbasedlearning bill.

This includes $30M for the Workforce Opportunity Fund, critical $$ the Iowa Business Council and others have long advocated for!

Thanks to the IA Senate for passing the Major Economic Growth Attraction legislation this afternoon, 47-0! Iowa Economic Dev

Thanks for the opportunity to share the results of the Iowa Business Council Q1 Economic Outlook Survey. Thorough discussion on strategies to recruit, retain, and employ more Iowans.

Great to see the Iowa Senate pass SF 2411 - a bill that will provide funding and retool Iowa's approach to #workbasedlearning . The Iowa Business Council continues to work with House members to get this over the finish line.

84% in the DSM! #SolarEclipse2024

Looking forward to the UNI Alumni meeting today.
