New partnership with NIACC brings Aviation Program to Clear Lake office

Central Rivers AEA is excited to announce a new partnership with North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC). Beginning this fall, NIACC will utilize two rooms in our Clear Lake office to support the expansion of its aviation program. The location offers students close access to the Mason City Airport while also making effective use of space in the building that has been underutilized.

This one-year agreement not only supports higher education opportunities in our region but also brings additional revenue to the agency. It’s a great example of how we can creatively repurpose resources to benefit students and strengthen our connections with educational partners.
