IowaWORKS Access Points launched across state

DES MOINES ? Iowa Workforce Development is rapidly deploying access points across the state to bring workforce services closer to Iowans.

Nearly 200 of the 520 access points across Iowa are in libraries. More libraries will add access points this year. With Iowa Library Services supporting libraries as they add access points, the partnership with libraries across the state is strengthened for the benefit of all Iowans.

Information on access points is available at www.iowaworkforce.org in the announcements section.

Individuals can connect with a workforce professional through at 866-239-0843 or live chat at an access point. The access is available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. Staff members will continue to be available from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday within the regional centers and satellite offices.

Iowa?s redefined workforce will have greater availability to the public with evening and weekend hours. IWD will continue to enhance technology based services throughout the new system.
