Be the Leader Workplace and Community

Be the Leader Workplace and Community

Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) Business and Community Solutions, in partnership with the City of Oelwein and Oelwein Chamber and Area Development, has created the Oelwein LEAD Certificate — a continuing education program designed to grow and empower local leaders.

If you’re ready to strengthen your workplace and interpersonal leadership skills, this program is the perfect fit. Through a series of convenient, half-day training sessions, you’ll gain practical tools you can apply immediately in your career and community.

“I am excited to see Oelwein work toward building local leaders,” said Dylan Mulfinger, city administrator of Oelwein. “Oelwein has a lot going on right now, and the more we can invest in our people, the more we can keep pushing forward.”

The Oelwein LEAD Certificate is just the beginning. NICC plans to expand high-impact leadership training across northeast Iowa, helping rural communities strengthen their workforce and civic leadership from within.
