Education
Union County is known for it’s quality education and commitment to excellence. There is a wide range of educational opportunities, from early childhood to post secondary education. Union County was also a selected location for the Future Ready Iowa Summit in 2018. This Act will ensure that our youth know the steps they will need to take to be career ready on the timeline that works for them and their goals.
Are You Future Ready?
In March of 2018, Governor Reynolds signed the Future Ready Iowa Act at the Future Ready Iowa Summit in Des Moines.
"This bill changes lives by helping Iowans earn credentials that prepare them for rewarding careers in advanced manufacturing, computer science, finance, healthcare and many other fields," Governor Reynolds said. "This bill also helps employers hire the skilled workers they need to grow, which means communities will be more prosperous."
The goal of Future Ready Iowa is to have 70% of Iowa workers to have education or training beyond high school by 2025. This equates to 127,700 Iowans having earned post-secondary degrees or credentials.
