"Iowa Workforce Development Partners with Faith Based and Community Organizations, Opens Iowa Career Access Points"

Ottumwa – Iowa Workforce Development has partnered with Faith Based and Community Organizations to open pilot Iowa Career Access Points (ICAP) across the state. The ICAPs create additional entrance points into the workforce system for individuals at familiar community locations. Throughout the summer, numerous pilot sites will offer services to their communities with Grand Opening dates yet to be announced. During grand opening events, attendees will learn more about future opportunities to develop Access Points within their communities and information about the upcoming October Workforce Conference.

An Iowa Career Access Point will be open to the public in Ottumwa on July 15, 2008.
