Pathways for Academic Career and Employment (PACE) Program: Fiscal Year 2017 Report
Division of Community Colleges and Workforce Preparation, 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 fourth 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 continue to do an outstanding job implementing the PACE programs in their regions and communities as they align themselves with the new Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act legislation (WIOA). Each college has committed to building career pathway frameworks, structuring those programs to ensure increased employment success of the identified target populations. This is achieved by refocusing program activities around collaboration with WIOA core partners and adult basic education programs, balancing services, and engaging sector partnerships. An internal and external audit was performed in November 2017 with the business offices of each Community College, to confirm all annual allocations, expenses and carry forwards from inception. The audit adjustments are reflected in this report. [For the Fiscal Year 2016 Report, see ED591699.]
