Keokuk, IA – Southeastern Community College will soon train workers heading to new jobs across the region. The college's Board of Trustees approved new job training agreements with 4 local industries. Chuck Betts heads SCC's Center for Business and Industry Services. He says the college will borrow $540,000 to fund the training programs. Betts says the industries will repay the money through state tax credits. SCC will work with Burlington-based Tjaden Bioscience, MPC Enterprise of Mt. Pleasant, and Morse Rubber and Tri-City Energy, both of Keokuk. Betts says the training for the roughly 75 new employees will be unique to each industry. The board also agreed to a preliminary deal where the college would train roughly 250 workers for Siemens Power Generation for its new Fort Madison plant.
