Report on Business/Industry Services Grants, Fiscal Year 1997.

The Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) has utilized its workforce preparation grant resources to provide an array of services to local businesses and new entrepreneurs. Community colleges in Illinois provided services that resulted in the startup, expansion, development, and retention of several thousand jobs and companies. These services included: (1) customized job training; (2) industrial, attraction, retention, and expansion activities; (3) entrepreneurship workshops and seminars for business owners and operators; (4) individualized counseling and management assistance; (5) contract procurement assistance; (6) workshops and noncredit courses; (7) employment, training, and job search services; and (8) small business incubators. The ICCB workforce preparation grant funds allowed for economic development and employee training during a time of great change, technological and otherwise, in the workplace. Appendices include tables of community college involvement with each of the community services. (YKH)
