Five job training agreements were approved by the Iowa Valley Community College Board of Directors at their regular meeting Wednesday night.
The 260F Iowa Jobs Training Program allows community colleges to work with local employers to meet their training needs while the state government provides funds to help offset training expenses.
“We do everything from welding to electrical to leadership training and some technology training,” IVCCD Chancellor Kristie Fisher said. “They’re a wonderful way to support local businesses.”

Students, staff and faculty at Marshalltown Community College will get the chance to receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine starting in mid-April.
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is returning to Marshall County, and this time will go to the Marshalltown Community College.
Iowa Valley Community College District Chancellor Kristie Fisher said initial conversations between the school and government officials indicated the vaccines will arrive in mid-April.
“I received an email letting me know the governor’s office was going to prioritize future doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine for colleges,” she said. “I was delighted. I have watched the campus as things have been returning to normal. This is one step closer to the new normal, which I hope looks like what it did pre-pandemic.”
