Iowa Workforce Development Awards Registered Apprenticeship Training Funds

    DES MOINES – Iowa Workforce Development has awarded training funds from the $6.2 million registered apprenticeship grant to organization providing programs targeting the construction industry.    The funding will train over 1,500 Iowans in rapidly growing, apprenticeship based occupations in high-demand industries. 

  Four organization were awarded training funds for their registered apprenticeship programs, including the Associated Builders and Contractors of Iowa; Southeastern Community College Center for Business, the Southeast Iowa Electrical Apprenticeship; and the Iowa Energy Construction Trades, affiliate members of the Iowa State Building and Construction Trades Council.

  Iowa Workforce Development is pleased to partner with a diverse group of registered apprenticeship partners to expand work-based learning strategies and assist with the continued development of strong partnerships between workforce and construction industry organizations.

  Additional partner components to implementing the registered apprenticeship grant will be announced in the coming weeks.

CECO Building Systems Jobs Henry Co Iowa

KILJ Post Possible Manufacturing at CECO site Written by Theresa Rose on December 23, 2014 in News There is a definite possibility that manufacturing will resume at the Mt. Pleasant CECO location. Local officials say all indications are CECO’s parent company NCI Manufacturing out of Houston will begin production in some form during the first half of 2015. NCI has been looking at the Mt. ...Pleasant facility to determine the condition of equipment that has been mothballed for about 5 years. Local officials are excited but don’t have a lot of details and hope to know more after the first of the year. They would not speculate at this time as to how many jobs this might mean.   KILJ has also learned that City Carton has been sold. But no other information is available about that until mid-January. Stay tuned to this Facebook page for more info to come.
