Why i.c.stars?

Before i.c.stars I was working at the warehouse and at the time it was cool because that was the highest paying job I’ve ever had, but I knew I couldn’t stay there for too long. I always had dreams of work in IT and when I was in college taking my first software programing class my teacher spoke to us as if one day we would be doing an internship and at the time I didn’t think too much of it. When I came across the opportunity it was the perfect time for me to take the next step in my journey to finding my career, and now I’m here in pursuit, to fulfilling my dreams

I’m honored to be apart of this opportunity here at i.c.stars because it’s rare that you come across opportunities like this. I believe i.c.stars will play a huge role in my successful journey and I’d like to thank all the staff and everyone involved in making this program run successfully and I definitely plan on becoming a community leader and sharing information about this program to everyone that I know.
