DES MOINES, IOWA – Governor Kim Reynolds today announced new grant awards that will help expand the number of Iowa’s youth participating in internships this summer.
A total of five employers are being awarded $254,000 in grants to help support over 100 youth participating in summer internships in high-demand areas of the workforce. Iowa’s Summer Youth Internship Program grants help Iowa’s youth gain access to meaningful work experiences while they explore and discover promising careers in the state.
“The great benefit of summer internships is not only the work experience they create for our youth, but ultimately the skills and connections gained that make it more likely that they will stay and develop a long-term career in our state,” said Governor Reynolds. “I applaud the employers who are sponsoring these programs and finding ways to build their workforce using the talent found in our youth.”
Geater Machining and Manufacturing has been awarded the 2025 Youth Summer Internship Grant — a fantastic initiative aimed at building tomorrow’s workforce by engaging today’s youth in hands-on, real-world career experiences.
Geater Machining & Manufacturing is honored to be chosen for this grant, and we are excited to welcome students into our facility this summer. Our hope is that the youth in this program will be better prepared for high-demand careers, gain valuable work experience, and develop the personal attributes necessary to succeed.
