Sheldon, Iowa — Officials with Northwest Iowa Community College (NCC) in Sheldon tell us they are proud to announce another high ranking for one of their programs.
NCC officials tell us that their Automotive & Light Duty Diesel Program has been voted into the top 20 automotive programs in the nation by Tomorrow’s Tech2023 School of the Year Contest. They say, “This prestigious recognition, sponsored by O’Reilly Auto Parts and WIX Filters, celebrates NCC’s position as a leading institution in automotive education in the United States.”
Chuck Ball, Automotive Instructor at NCC, reflected on the program’s history and its continuous evolution alongside industry advancements. He says, “Established in 1966, our Automotive Program has not only won multiple awards but has also consistently adapted our curriculum to meet the changing needs of the industry. Being recognized by Tomorrow’s Technician, a publication that reaches over 1100 schools, is a significant affirmation of the quality education we provide to our students.”
The next stage in the contest involves a unique challenge where instructors and students from the top 20 schools, including NCC, are asked to create videos showcasing their automotive programs and learning environments. These videos will be made available on the Tomorrow’s Tech YouTube channel, offering a platform for each school to highlight its educational strengths. A panel of judges from Tomorrow’s Tech and WIX Filters will review these submissions to select the four regional finalists and, eventually, the winning school.
