In our podcast, we chatted with Gazette reporter Izabela Zaluska. Izabela walked us through her story on the Iowa City program that builds connections for job seekers to the skilled trades to help them find an apprenticeship program near them.

This interesting program helps job seekers learn more about trades before entering an apprenticeship program so they will better understand what trades are a good fit for them or offer the best career path.

Additionally, job seekers who are currently struggling to find jobs or a better career can benefit from multiple apprenticeship or up-skilling programs available near them at local community colleges or workforce training centers.
