Iowa College Aid today announced the creation of the Iowa College and Career Readiness Academy, an online training program for school counselors and other college access professionals. The program was developed by Iowa College Aid in partnership with AEA Iowa, the Iowa Department of Education and the Iowa School Counselor Association. Participants can earn license renewal or graduate credit and a certificate conferred by Iowa College Aid. ISCA President Aimee Hospodarsky said the courses “will provide tailored professional development for Iowa school counselors on college and career readiness and will be an invaluable tool in our work ensuring every student is prepared for the future.” Registration is now open, and the first course will begin Oct. 1.
