Business Services
The Workforce Development Partnership (WDP)
is much more than just the “unemployment office.” The goal of the Workforce
Development Partnership is to provide quality, customer-driven services that
support prosperity, productivity, health and safety for Iowans.
Services for employers in the seven-county area of Region 10 (Benton, Cedar,
Iowa, Johnson, Jones, Linn, Washington) include:

prospective employers, and to make appropriate referrals. No fees are

Move is for jobs paying a minimum of $30,000 per year.
