Workforce Development
Region XII Council of Governments is the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) grantee for the Region 8 workforce area, serving Audubon, Carroll, Crawford, Greene, Guthrie, and Sac Counties. Region XII also serves as the coordinating service provider for the region’s workforce services. Region XII is responsible for seeing to the proper implementation of WIA as it relates to partnering among various agencies that receive federal workforce development funds.
In addition to WIA, Region XII provides PROMISE JOBS services for the Department of Human Services. PROMISE JOBS, or Promoting Independence and Self Sufficiency through Employment is Iowa’s welfare reform program. It is facilitated with collaboration from Iowa Workforce Development.
Region XII also provides contracted services to the Region XII Housing Authority (HUD) for the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS).
Region XII is proud to be a part of an effective team of agencies that work in concert to provide essential services to residents of our region.
