Iowa Governor Terry Branstad traveled to Pella for his weekly news conference where he visited the Career Academy of Pella and signed an executive order creating the Future Ready Iowa Alliance. Branstad gave the alliance a specific task in pushing for the state’s goal of having education or training beyond high school for 70 percent of graduates by the year 2025.

 

Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds will chair the group along with Principal Financial Group C-E-O Dan Houston.

 

The governor says those interested in being appointed to the Future Ready Iowa Alliance should contact his office.
