Highlighted Measure:

Participation in post-secondary education via the Iowans in Transition Program (%)

Data Source: Department of Human Rights - Status of Women

 

Updated 9/1/06

GRAPH - Percent of Participants in Post-Secondary Education

Why this is important:
Single parents, female offenders and displaced homemakers are able to get pre-employment services through Iowans in Transition. It is important that we help them move from counseling, assessment, ESL (English as a Second Language), GED (General Education Development), and ABE (Adult Basic Education) to post-secondary training where they can prepare for high-paid, high-skill jobs.


What we're doing about this:
Staff provide technical assistance to program coordinators, including brainstorming marketing strategies to recruit participants. We will continue to encourage coordinators to promote post-secondary education and training to program participants. Fluctuations in funding impact program capacity.
