Northwest Iowa Community College

In early 2009, NWICC received $1.7 million dollars as part of the President’s Community Based Job Training Grant as implemented by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration. The grant resulted in the development of the Midwest Bio Project. The project resulted in the creation of NWICC's Biotechnology Lab Technician program, enhanced skill training for employees of exiting businesses and high school pre-training. These initiatives have helped to boost employment, promote biotechnology training through NWICC and bolster Iowa's position as a leader in this field.
