MASON CITY – Together with dozens of other NC3 Leadership Schools across the country, North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) is holding the NC3 National Letter of Intent Signing Day beginning at 10:00am on April 20, 2023. New and prospective students for the 2023-24 school year will take part in a signing ceremony, similar to an athletic signing, in the Muse Norris Conference Center on the NIACC campus.
This national event is sponsored by the National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3) and mirrors the NCAA’s National Signing Day for athletes who commit to play sports in college. It is designed to honor students who are entering a technical or agricultural field and to celebrate the dignity of work.
Dozens of technical institutions across the country will be hosting signing day ceremonies tied together by live, nationwide simulcasts.
Prospective students who are interested in learning more about NIACC’s skilled trades and agricultural programs are invited to participate in this event. Attending the event does not obligate attendees to enroll at NIACC in the fall but there will be an opportunity to sign up for classes and win program-specific prizes. Several local businesses have signed on to provide sponsorship for the event and students will hear from successful businesspeople that believe in the value of a skilled trades or agricultural education.

NIACC’s skilled trades and agricultural programs are eligible for the Future Ready Iowa Last Dollar Scholarship so most students in these programs will attend NIACC tuition free.
