Employee Development Funds

The development of Eastern Iowa Community Colleges' faculty and staff is important to the teaching and learning mission of the college.  Two funds have been established to support ongoing education and training for employees:  the Employee Educational Advancement Fund and the Employee Professional Development Fund.

Employee Educational Advancement Fund

This fund will support tuition and course fees for bachelor and graduate-level education or non-degree certifications.  Distinguished Faculty should use their Distinguished Faculty-allocated funds first before applying for this funding. Applications are reviewed by the committee on the first Tuesday of every month.

Employee Professional Development Fund

This fund will support registration and travel expenses to attend conferences, workshops and webinars; to participate in short-term training; or to bring in external speakers or trainers for a specific purpose. Costs covered by other internal or external funding are not eligible for these funds. Distinguished Faculty should use their Distinguished Faculty-allocated funds first before applying for this funding. Applications are reviewed by the committee on the first Tuesday of every month.
