Libraries Helping Job Seekers

In Iowa and across the country, job seekers are going to libraries to write résumés, set up e-mail accounts, look for work, complete online job applications and more. There are resources available to libraries and the people they serve thanks to a partnership between Iowa Workforce Development and local libraries. Feel free to share these resources with people in your community who need them.

If your library is interested in becoming a partner with Iowa Workforce Development, please visit the State Library web site.

The State Library and Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) have developed a partnership in order to better serve unemployed Iowans. The partnership was formally kicked off in 2009 with an ICN program for public libraries and IWD managers, followed by online sessions for library staff on how to navigate the IWD Web site. On January 15, 2010 the State Library and Iowa Workforce Development signed a letter of commitment between the two agencies.
