What our graduates say about us
The four months of training I received at icstars transformed my life and opened me up for opportunities that I did not think were obtainable, it not only gave me the skills to go find a job but also gave me the skills to be able to create jobs.
i.c.stars provided me with life changing skills, but the most valuable thing I was able to take away was the ability to believe in my self and showing me I can accomplish anything.
