Education is Essential. A Four-Year Degree is Not.
Four years of college isn’t for everyone, and the job market isn’t set up for everyone to need a four-year degree.
In fact, most careers in areas such as advanced manufacturing, health care, transportation and communications
utilities, agriculture and forestry, and the building and construction trades require education beyond high school
but not a four-year degree. Jobs in these areas make up the largest part of the labor market, accounting for
54% of Iowa’s labor market,* and 54% of job openings in Iowa.* Earn the skills you need through specific career
and industry training - from on-the-job training and apprenticeships, to career-focused certificate and degree
programs at a community college or career training center.
