Iowa Code r. 283-23.5 - Determination of programs of study aligned with high-demand jobs
(1)
Statewide high-demand jobs. The commission will utilize the
department of workforce development's most recent list of statewide high-demand
jobs pursuant to Iowa Code section
84A.1B(14) and
align those jobs to eligible programs of study. Programs aligned with new
statewide high-demand jobs will be added to the list of eligible programs to
the extent that funding allows. After consideration of additional programs
under subrule 23.5(2), and to the extent that funding allows, the commission
will utilize the department of workforce development's most recent list of
high-demand occupations that meet the growth thresholds in Iowa Code section
84A.1B(14) but
do not meet the wage threshold and will align those jobs to eligible programs
of study.
(2)
Regional
high-demand jobs. The commission will request submissions of regional
high-demand jobs that align with eligible programs of study if funding allows.
The Iowa community college must conduct a regional skills gap analysis and
provide the corresponding documentation to the commission.
(3)
Eligible programs of
study. All programs of study that are identified as career and
technical education programs by the Iowa department of education will be
considered. The classification of instructional program code and the standard
occupation code will be used to align eligible programs of study to high-demand
jobs.
(4)
Grandfather
clause. If a high-demand job is removed from eligibility, students who
received an award based on their enrollment in a program of study aligned with
the removed high-demand job in the previous year can continue to qualify for
the award if they remain enrolled in the same program of study and continuously
enroll each consecutive fall and spring semester, or the equivalent.
