A collaboration as specified in this subsection shall include representation from any stakeholder organization willing to assist the department in meeting the requirements of this subsection.

   d.
  The requirements for coursework and programs approved pursuant to this subsection shall include but not be limited to the following:
   (1)  Provision of information regarding career exploration, planning, and development assistance; and opportunities available to Iowa’s students from targeted industries as defined in section 15.411, subsection 1, as well as industries requiring skilled workers with educational backgrounds in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
