Jobs & Innovative Industry Skills Training

The Kansas Department of Commerce announces the availability of $500,000 in Jobs & Innovative Industry Skills Training (JIIST) to be awarded to 2-year sector colleges as a cost-reimbursement grant through a competitive process.  The opportunity is afforded through the Community College Competitive Grant bill passed by the legislature in 2011 (HB 2014).  The purpose of JIIST is to

1. provide innovative programs with private companies in Kansas needing specific job skils;
2. provide for other industry training needs that cannot be addressed with current funding streams.
