Three of our Cohort I graduates held a panel discussion to share internship best practices with Cohort II students. Nigel, Jonathan, and Marc held nothing back while speaking of their successes, challenges, and tips for a rewarding internship experience. It was great to see how much our graduates have come full circle and how excited they were to be able to 'pass the torch' to their peers in tech!
We reinstated our biannual job fair last month and it was a huge success. Our employer partners showed their commitment to our students and our students were presented with job opportunities from a variety of industry verticals. It was followed by a men's clothing giveaway with a few of our own staff members lending a hand to ensure our students left looking sharp and job-ready!
To highlight the success of our training programs, we kicked-off our #HowIGotHere social media campaign by posting 8 student testimonials across our social media platforms throughout the entire month of October! Our students invited us along their journey from being a participant at ICD to getting HIRED! If you haven't seen the testimonials on our social platforms, you can find them on our website here.
