NICC
Wins 2009 Impact Award for Economic Development
Posted 18 February
2010
Winneshiek County Development, Inc. awarded the 2009 Impact Award to
Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) to recognize the economic
contribution of the college in Winneshiek County. The organization
honored NICC for its increased enrollment, proactive work in business
and industry training, assistance to area businesses in Winneshiek
County, and the college’s building projects at the Calmar campus.
NICC has a strong economic development presence in Winneshiek County
and throughout northeast Iowa. NICC collaborates with local and state
agencies to provide customized training in a variety of work areas,
including manufacturing, welding, customer service, computers,
Workplace Lean and many others. Winneshiek County employers have worked
with NICC to design customized training programs for their employees
because training makes businesses more competitive.
Ken Vande Berg, NICC vice president of economic development, said that
receiving the honor speaks volumes about the strong relationship the
college enjoys with Winneshiek County. “I think receiving this award is
a real positive statement about the work we do, and this is good
recognition for the college,” said Vande Berg. “Winneshiek County and
the development board were very supportive of our bond issue and this
is a nice vote of confidence.” Vande Berg said that NICC is becoming
increasingly visible in the region because of its economic work and
greater awareness in the community.
Winneshiek County Development, Inc. and the Decorah Jobs organization
work diligently in an effort to make sure existing and prospective
businesses are accommodated within the City of Decorah and throughout
the county. For more information on NICC business and industry training
