Rule 261-7.22 - Training Agreement

(1) A community college shall enter into a training agreement with the business(es), lead business, lead organization, apprenticeship sponsor(s), or lead apprenticeship sponsor within 90 days of written notice of application approval from the authority, using Training Agreement, Form 260F-4, for 260F business-driven projects and using Form 260F-4D for apprenticeship projects.

(2) A business or apprenticeship sponsor shall not modify any provision of the agreement without the written approval of the community college.

(3) The community college, with the written consent of the business or apprenticeship sponsor, has the authority to modify all provisions of the agreement except for 260F business, business network and consortium project modifications which result in a reduction of the number of employees to be trained or which significantly change the training program.

(4) The community college and the business or apprenticeship sponsor are authorized to change the ending date of training, training provider, or other minor modifications to the training program. All modifications must be uploaded to the 260F data system prior to the ending date of training. If the modification authorizes a change of the ending date of training, the modification must be uploaded to the 260F data system prior to the original ending date of training. For example, if a training agreement specifies an ending date of training of December 31, 2018, and a community college and business agree to extend the ending date of training to December 31,2019, then the modification must be uploaded prior to December 31, 2018.

(5) Modifications of 260F business, business network and consortium projects which result in a reduction of the number of employees to be trained or change the training program content must be approved by the authority, community college, and business.

(6) The agreement shall not be modified in any way that would result in a violation of Iowa Code chapter 260F.

(7) Lead businesses, lead apprenticeship sponsors and lead organizations that choose to be the only signatory on the training contract for an authority-sponsored business network, community college-sponsored business network, authority-sponsored apprenticeship or community college-sponsored apprenticeship project shall be responsible for all default and reporting requirements on behalf of the other businesses or apprenticeship sponsors participating in the project.
