RESOURCE: Funding
Training Current Employees
Iowa Jobs Training Program (260F)

The Iowa Jobs Training Program helps Iowa businesses fund training for current employees.

The program fosters the growth and competitiveness of Iowa businesses by ensuring that Iowa's workforce has the skills and expertise needed to compete worldwide. Training programs are customized to meet the specific productivity needs of your business.

The 260F program provides state-funded forgivable loans or grants to Iowa businesses needing to train their existing employees. A loan is forgivable if a business completes its training program and trains a specified number of employees.

Project awards are limited to $25,000 per business site, to a maximum of $50,000 over a three-year period (dependent upon availability of funds). Participating businesses are required to provide at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the training program cost as cash match.

To qualify for this program, your business must be engaged in interstate or intrastate commerce for the purpose of manufacturing, processing, assembling products, or conducting research and development. Businesses that provide services in interstate commerce are also eligible.

What Our Customers Are Saying ...
"Not only did DBR work with us to secure funding dollars for our training program, but they also ensured that the program resulted in the quick, efficient, and effective training of our associates. It was critical to our facility that training be provided to bolster our world class performance. Without the 260F funds, we would not have been able to fund the extensive training needed. I would recommend that organizations contact DMACC Business Resources to receive information on how the 260F funding program can work for them. Thank you, DBR."
