Iowa's unique employee training programs can provide training services required by a business for its employees.
All training is customized to the company's special needs.
Companies creating new jobs which are engaged in manufacturing, assembling products, conducting research and development, or providing interstate services are eligible, but retail, health, and professional service businesses are excluded. Community colleges finance the program by the sale of tax-exempt bonds which are repaid by the tax revenue generated by the salaries and capital invested to support the new jobs. As a result company profits are not used to repay the bonds. Iowa has 15 community colleges, three major state universities, and many private colleges and competent professional societies that can provide business and industry training assistance as the programs are developed.
