CIETC is an abbreviation for the Central Iowa Employment and Training Consortium. CIETC is a public agency, that was formed in agreement with several communities, including the City of Des Moines, and the surrounding counties of Boone, Dallas, Jasper, Madison, Marion, Polk, Story, and Warren.

The agency was the subject of local media coverage and controversy, when it was discovered that the executives at CIETC were paid excessive salaries and bonuses.

Des Moines is entitled to three representatives, whereas Polk County is entitled to four representatives, and each remaining community being entitled to one representative each.

With an agreement with the 11th Regional Workforce Investment Board (RWIB), CIETC is tasking with providing employment and training services. CIETC administers three programs: Promise Jobs, WIA, and Welfare-To-Work.
