For the second year, Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) has received Iowa legislature funding to support the development and implementation of a Regional Work-Based Intermediary Network that prepares high school students for the workforce.
Iowa’s 15 community colleges each received a portion of the $1.45 million in funding, which is managed by the Iowa Department of Education, to develop 15 networks in the state. The main purpose of the intermediary funding is to create a connector for schools and businesses within each community college region in Iowa.
