The Dohmen Co. is committing $1.6 million to bring a program to Milwaukee that gives young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds immersive training in technology, business and leadership.
The program, i.c.stars, is intensive, structured — and successful.
Founded in Chicago in 1999, i.c.stars resembles a coding “boot camp” but teaches technology and other skills by focusing on specific projects from local employers, blurring the line between classroom training and work.
