Quality employment via a self-supporting job with livable wages and benefits is a major hurdle to women’s self-sufficiency in Iowa. The University of Iowa Labor Center will launch Iowa Women in Trades Network in 2020, setting up a pre-apprentice program and a network to improve access to registered apprenticeships and ensure completion rates and job placement for women in the construction trades.
