Pathways for Academic Career and Employment (PACE) Program: Fiscal Year 2015 Report
Iowa Department of Education
The pathways for academic career and employment program (PACE) is established to provide funding to community colleges for the development of projects that will lead to gainful, quality, in-state employment for members of target populations by providing them with both effective academic and employment training to ensure gain. This is the second year for Pathways for Academic, Career and Employment (PACE) reporting. Allocations for the PACE fund are allocated pursuant to the Community College state general aid distribution formula established in the Iowa Code and are eligible to be carried forward to the next year. The figures noted in this report were obtained from each of Iowa's 15 community colleges. Colleges have done an outstanding job implementing their programs into their regions and communities as they begin to align themselves with the new Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act legislation. All of the colleges have committed to building career pathway frameworks and structuring those projects that can best increase the employment success of the identified targeted populations as evidenced by the overall increase in program activity indicating the effort and extension of program growth especially as they begin to partner with their Adult Basic Education programs.
