NICC adding program in Chemical Technology

Northeast Iowa Community College and the Northeast Iowa Dairy Center are working to add a new program in Chemical Technology.

The program is expected to start in the fall of 2011 at the Dairy Center on the Calmar campus. It will train students for careers in a field that is expected to grow dramatically in the next 5-10 years.

Says NICC Vice President Curt Oldfield, "With the addition of ethanol and bio-diesel plants as well as food safety needs related to dairy and production-related agriculture fields, the need for this program in Northeast Iowa is strong."
