Governor Kim Reynolds and the Iowa Department of Education today (Thur) awarded four Iowa community colleges nearly four million dollars in competitive grants through the state’s Career Academy Incentive Fund.
The grants support partnerships between community colleges, schools, industry, and community stakeholders to empower more students with multiple pathways to post-secondary success.
Northwest Iowa Community College is receiving funding to establish a new seven thousand square-foot regional center in the town of Marcus. The regional center is slated to include three classrooms, a computer lab, and health care lab space for certified nurse assistant education. Funds will also be used to renovate existing labs at MMC-RU High School. The regional center will serve five additional northwest Iowa school districts.
