HINTON RESIDENT THE FIRST FEMALE NCC POWERLINE GRADUATE
A Hinton resident made history as the first female to graduate from Northwest Iowa Community College’s Powerline program, which began in 1967. Mia Fleckenstein thought the Powerline Program would fit her goals when she enrolled. Her high school guidance counselor introduced her to the Powerline program, and Mia was intrigued. The Powerline program at NCC is well-known for preparing students for careers in electrical linework. It requires technical skills but also is physically demanding. Mia found more than just technical training at NCC. She appreciated the college’s small, welcoming environment. Fleckenstein also received a scholarship that helped support her education. She graduated last May.
