NICC
Receives
Alliant Energy Grant
Posted 6 November 2008
Northeast Iowa Community College
has received an Alliant Energy Foundation grant to support the
college's 8th Grade
Career Exploration fair events.
The annual fairs, being held Dec. 3-5 and Dec. 9 this year, offer over
1,300 students from Dubuque County and East Dubuque, Ill., an
opportunity to learn more about career options in the Tri-states.
NICC, the Dubuque Area Labor-Management Council, the Learning for Life
program, Iowa Workforce Development and Every Child, Every Promise
organized the fairs.
NICC's career outreach office says the Alliant Energy Foundation's
$2,700 grant will help make the fair's career education goals possible.
"The 8th Grade Career Exploration Fairs are an opportunity for students
to connect with practitioners from a variety of career fields.
Furthermore, these 1,300+ 8th graders from Dubuque County and East
Dubuque can use the information to plan their high school course
schedules as well as their work and volunteer experiences to best
prepare for their future careers," said Kathy Weber, NICC career
outreach coordinator.
Each student attending the event attends four different 20-minute
sessions on career topics such as banking, the energy field, health
care and manufacturing. In addition, all students will attend a session
on job searches and the soft skills necessary for success in the
workplace.
The Alliant Energy Foundation is an independent, non-profit
philanthropic corporation funded by Alliant Energy shareowners.
To learn more about the 8th Grade Career Exploration Fairs, contact
Kathy Weber, NICC career outreach coordinator, at (563) 556-5110, ext.
440.
