🌱 Every fresh start looks different.

After 17 years away from the workforce, Jeremy came to IowaWORKS unsure how his experience while incarcerated would translate to employment. With career guidance, job search support, and connections to SNAP Employment & Training, he gained confidence, overcame barriers, and landed a job.

Jeremy described IowaWORKS as a “lifesaver” and shared that earning his first paycheck gave him pride and a renewed sense of purpose.

This , Jeremy’s story shows the power of a workforce network working together to help people find their path forward.
