The Iowa New Jobs Training Program (260 E):
The Iowa New Jobs Training Program is designed to assist businesses that are creating new jobs. New Jobs Training can provide flexible funding to meet the wide variety of training and employee development needs of companies that are expanding operations or locating a new facility in the state. The assistance available ranges from highly specialized educational programs to basic skill training for new positions.
NICC issues training certificates (bonds) to pay for the project costs. These training certificates are repaid by diverting 1.5 or 3% (based on wage levels) of the increased payroll withholding tax revenues resulting from the creation of the new jobs, so there is no direct training cost to the company. Training can be provided by NICC, local colleges or private contractors.
