Welcome to the website for the sponsored research project between Iowa State University (ISU) and the Iowa Department of Education (IA-DE). The ISU Research Team is working collaboratively with the Division of Community Colleges and Workforce Preparation to investigate the outcomes of vocational education in Iowa community colleges. The primary purpose of this project is to conduct research on post-college earnings and enrollment patterns of Iowa community college students.

I encourage you to refer to the links on the left to learn more about our research. If you would like to learn more about the projects, please do not hesitate to contact me.
