The discussion centered on newly developed statewide materials, strategies, and initiatives which continue to support the development and growth of collaborative sector partnerships in Iowa, including a series of educational toolkits, community of practice initiatives, and statewide career pathway development strategies for critical industries like health science, advanced manufacturing, IT, and energy.
