Iowa Workforce Development is sending its new mobile Iowa Works center to Perry after the announcement that Tyson plans to shut down the pork plant there. Iowa Workforce Development director Beth Townsend recently talked about the setup of the mobile center.
She says it allows them to make a quick response if there is an unexpected mass layoff, and they can set up in that community and be there as long as needed. Townsend says they can respond to other events as well.
Townsend says it doesn’t have to just go to a community for emergencies.
Townsend encourages anyone who is interested to learn more about the mobile center on the Iowa Work Works website.
