Des Moines Area Community College (Iowa): 137 training programs — cost, completion, employment and earnings from the federal record
Des Moines Area Community College (Higher Ed: Associate's Degree), 2006 S Ankeny Boulevard, Ankeny has 137 programs on Iowa’s Training Provider Results list leading to: ASSET-Ford Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree; Accounting Certificate; Accounting Payroll Certificate; Accounting Specialist AAS; Accounting and Bookkeeping Diploma; Accounting for Entrepreneurs Certificate and 130 more. The table prints what the provider reported for each: the published cost, how many students exited, the share who completed, the share employed in the second quarter after exit, and their median earnings in that quarter — as reported, with the federal definition of every column below. Nothing is ranked, imputed or estimated. Snapshot taken 2026-09-02.
Read this first. Your local job center decides eligibility — this shows what is on the list and what it cost and produced, not whether you will be approved. No promise is made here about money, seats, jobs or pay; the figures are what the providers reported, printed with their dates.

Source and date: U.S. Department of Labor, Training Provider Results — the open program index behind trainingproviderresults.gov (state Eligible Training Provider performance reports, form ETA-9171), snapshot taken 2026-09-02; the site states the data cover programs approved as of June 30, 2025 and outcomes for July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2025. Cost is tuition and fees for a non-WIOA participant where the provider reported it (books and supplies added only when reported separately), otherwise the average WIOA training-account dollars per participant — the basis is printed under each figure. The provider’s own program page is linked where it reported one; RetrainMap has not verified those links.
How to read the columns — the federal data dictionary
Definitions from the TrainingProviderResults.gov Data Dictionary v4.0 (2024-05-15), as shipped in the dataset’s data_dictionary.csv. Median earnings are one calendar quarter, not a year. Percentages of small cohorts are noisy — read the exited count first. A dash means the federal file prints −1 (suppressed: small cohort, not reported, or flagged) — blank here, never zero.
- all_completed_pct (federal field field_c_completed_percent)
- Percent of All Students who completed the program (DE122/DE121) Percent, 0-100 (the federal file stores a 0-1 fraction; converted here).
- all_employed_q2_pct (federal field field_c_q2_employment_percent)
- Percent of All Students Exiters who were employed in the 2nd Quarter after Exit (DE123/DE129) Percent, 0-100 (the federal file stores a 0-1 fraction; converted here).
- all_median_earnings_q2_usd (federal field field_c_median_earnings)
- Median Earnings in the 2nd Quarter after Exit of All Students that are Employed in the 2nd Quarter after Exit (DE125)
- avg_ita_cost_per_wioa_participant_usd (federal field field_c_cost_per_wioa)
- Average number of dollars the training program received from each WIOA participant Individual Training Account (ITA) during the time period (DE138/DE135)
- non_wioa_tuition_fees_usd (federal field field_non_wioa_tuition_cost)
- Out-of-Pocket Cost for a Non-WIOA Participant: Tuition and Requested Fees (DE111)
- non_wioa_books_supplies_usd (federal field field_non_wioa_supplies_cost)
- Out-of-Pocket Cost for a Non-WIOA Participant: Books and Supplies (DE112)
- length_weeks (federal field field_program_length_weeks)
- Length of the training program in weeks, as completed by a full-time student (DE114); a suppressed value (-1) indicates it was reported as a competency-based program
- length_hours (federal field field_program_length_hours)
- Length of the training program in clock/contact hours (DE113); a suppressed value (-1) indicates it was reported as a competency-based program
- all_students_exited (federal field field_c_total_exited)
- Total number of individuals exited from the training program (DE121)
