Eastern Iowa Community Colleges (EICC) will celebrate the grand opening of a construction project that will expand career and technical education in DeWitt.
The new buildings and programs mean more high school students and adults can access the high-quality, hands-on education and training to land great jobs in nursing, automotive technology, CNC machining, HVAC, information technology, and more.
Residents are invited to join college and community leaders at:
DeWitt Career Advancement Center
Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023
Event 4 – 7 p.m., remarks at 4:30 p.m.
817 E. Industrial St., DeWitt, Iowa
Highlights: One wing is dedicated to educating future CNC machinists, construction workers, farmers, and Ag experts. Healthcare and business programs are also housed here.
Those who attend can hear remarks from EICC leaders and community partners, tour the facilities, meet instructors and staff, and enjoy light refreshments.
Recognizing that the future of Eastern Iowa relies on a skilled workforce, in March 2021, more than 70% of voters within the college district supported a $40 million bond referendum to expand EICC’s reach and impact. In addition to the new facilities in Bettendorf, DeWitt, and Muscatine, in 2022 EICC opened the Clinton Career Advancement Center.
Residents and community members who attend the Scott Health Sciences Center grand opening can also tour the new student entrance, commons, and services area. EICC constructed that project independently from the bond and opened it this fall. Learn more at eicc.edu/grandopenings
