NIACC jobs-training programs play vital role in area economy (Globe Gazette editorial)

June 16, 2010 - Legislators went to school Tuesday on job training programs.

What they saw and learned was something North Iowa businesses have long known and appreciated: North Iowa Area Community College is a driving force in the area’s economy through its jobs- training programs.

Welcome.

The issue is evident – improving Iowa's economy is still job one. We must continue to help working Iowans and our small business owners emerge and recover from the national economic recession. We have made substantial positive strides to address the economy under very difficult circumstances, but there is still work to do.

I want anybody with an idea about how we move Iowa forward to contact me. Thank you for visiting our campaign website and I hope I can count on your support in November.
