    Made In Iowa | E41 | Building Iowa’s Workforce of Tomorrow: Connecting Students with Careers

    Leisa Fox sits down with Wendy Mihm-Herold of iJAG to talk about how the organization is connecting Iowa students with businesses, careers and real-world experiences while helping employers build the workforce of the future. Wendy shares examples of students learning about skilled trades and leadership, putting their skills to work alongside employers like MidAmerican and participating in iJAG’s Career Development Conference, which brings together more than 600 students from across Iowa for competitions, workshops and direct interaction with businesses. Wendy also discusses the importance of giving young people meaningful exposure to career opportunities while helping Iowa employers better understand, attract and develop Gen Z talent. She expresses appreciation to the Iowa Legislature and Governor Kim Reynolds for their support of iJAG and its work across the state. Wendy also introduces an important new resource for Iowa employers: the Work-Based Learning Business Playbook, available September 1, 2026. Designed as a practical guide for businesses, the Playbook walks employers through using work-based learning as a talent development strategy, Iowa’s WBL framework, connecting with learners at every stage, designing a WBL strategy and creating high-quality experiences. It also tackles practical issues employers need to understand, including liability and hazardous occupations for students under 18 and Iowa’s Career and Technical Education system. The goal is to help businesses address workforce shortages, develop the next generation of talent, strengthen their communities and achieve measurable ROI from work-based learning. Employers interested in the Playbook or partnering with iJAG can contact Wendy Mihm-Herold directly at wendy.mihm-herold@ijag.org.

    E40 | The Iowa-Made Process Behind Fighting Hunger | Made in Iowa

    Debby Hudson with Meals from the Heartland joins the Made in Iowa Podcast to share how the organization turns volunteer power into millions of meals for people in Iowa and around the world. Much of its work mirrors manufacturing: teams of 10 volunteers, carefully selected ingredients, efficient packaging lines, quality standards and distribution partnerships—including Convoy of Hope. These meals are designed to do more than fill a belly. Their nutritional content helps children grow, learn and thrive—feeding minds as well as bodies. Debby also shares how listeners can join the mission by signing up for Meals from the Heartland’s volunteer events coming up in September.
