ICD

Updated April 21, 2026

Institute for Career Development (ICD) is a contractually negotiated benefit available to the workers covered by the union. Classes are customized; set around your specific work schedule, and held at ICD, the hall, or at various locations around town, and/or online. Classes are 100% free for union members.

PERSONALIZED FINANCIAL COACHING or MORTGAGE CONSULT CLASS: 45-60min at Affinity Credit Union, the credit union born inside the plant. Held on a weekday you have off. Financial partners can attend along with you

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY CLASS: 3hrs online, then a full weekend of riding at Ankeny DMACC. You provide DOT-stickered and approved helmet and gloves; they provide the bikes. Weekend hours are Fri 5-9pm, Sat 8-4, Sun 8-12

MAKE A BELT CLASS at TANDY LEATHER: 1-2hrs on a day you have off; likely a Fri, maybe a Sat. Held at Tandy Leather on NE 14th Street

ONLINE CLASSES at TOOLINGU: maintenance, machining, electrification, and more. You get 90 days to take however many classes you’re able. They’re self-paced, and more intense than you think! Check out their website, learn.toolingu.com, then reach ICD if you wanna give it a go

TUITION ASSISTANCE: TA is used toward a degree or certificate or to take training only available at college level. TA can be used for CDL although the in-person class schedule often clashes with our shifts. You’ll also need to spend $2500ish of your own

REMEMBER BOTH THE GARAGE & THE COMPUTERS are here for you to use! Reserve a day/time or simply pop in to see if they’re available

ICD HOURS: M-Th, 7am-4pm; Fri 7-11am. Call/text re hours on weeks you’re out of the plant. ICD hours might be different, too
