Sheldon, IA (KICD)– A new program is going to be coming to Northwest Iowa Community College in Sheldon after the school recently received 50 thousand dollars in grant funding from the Future Ready Iowa fund.

Jason Anderson is NCC’s Director of Workforce and Economic Development. He tells KICD News the plan is to start a new industry recognized, non-credit, certificate program to help fill some of the open spots in the workforce.

Anderson says the benefits of such a program can be seen on multiple levels.

The Industrial Maintenance Training certificate program is planned to start at Northwest Iowa Community College this summer.
