DES MOINES – Governor Kim Reynolds announced new grant awards for healthcare employers that will help boost the industry’s workforce across Iowa, particularly in high-demand jobs, and Clear Lake’s One Vision will be a beneficiary.
Handicap Village, dba One Vision, in Clear Lake, will receive $250,000, according to the Governor’s office. The proposed program exists to address a critical need in the healthcare and disability support sectors: the enhancement of the skills of frontline workers, specifically direct support professionals. One Vision’s proposed training program is designed to strengthen Iowa’s direct support workforce by implementing a structured work-based learning model that blends classroom instruction, eLearning, mentorship, and on-the-job training.
The project will serve an estimated 120 participants, including newly hired and current employees.
This award is part of $2.94 million in new healthcare grants to boost local workforce.
$250K isn’t going to do squat, and she knows it. Might pay for 6 employees for a year.
