What’s in it

_____ a shortage of skilled workers. The quarterly reporting requirement will be stricken July 1, 2019, by 2018 Iowa Acts, chapter 1067, section 9. The bill instead provides references to a list of high-demand jobs by the department. The bill also provides that if a community college no longer identifies an industry as having a shortage of skilled workers or the department no longer identifies the industry as a high-demand job, an eligible student who received a skilled workforce shortage tuition grant for a career-technical or career option program based on that identification shall continue to receive the grant until achieving a postsecondary credential, up to an associate degree, as long as the student is continuously enrolled in that program and continues to meet all other eligibility requirements.
