Abstract: The Pathways for Academic Career and Employment (PACE) program is established to provide funding to community colleges for the development of programs that will lead to gainful, quality, in-state employment for members of target populations by providing them with both effective academic and employment training to ensure gainful employment and customized support services. This is the eighth year for Pathways for Academic, Career and Employment (PACE) reporting. PACE funds are allocated pursuant to the community college state general aid distribution formula established in Iowa Code and are eligible to be carried forward to the next year. The figures noted in this report were obtained from each of Iowa's 15 community colleges. Each college has committed to building career pathway frameworks and structuring programs to ensure increased employment success of the identified target populations. This is achieved by refocusing program activities around collaboration with core partners and adult basic education programs, balancing services and engaging sector partnerships.
