The U-S Department of Labor has awarded a federal Title I grant to NIACC, Northeast Iowa Community College, and nonprofit organization One Cedar Valley.

The Title I grant funding will support initiatives that provide workforce services to youth and adults who face barriers to employment.

One focus of the grant will support a Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Youth Program that serves youth ages 12-24 who face barriers to education and employment.

A second Adult/Dislocated Worker Program supported by the grant will provide services to unemployed and underemployed adults.

NIACC is serving as a grant leader with partners NICC and One Cedar Valley. The federal funding, in the amount of 900-thousand dollars, will allow all grant partners to expand community outreach and increase recruitment and retention of youth and adults who would benefit from workforce services.
