Testimonials
"Priscilla, Kelly, Don,
I received my official license in the mail this past Saturday. I had an interview scheduled with Superior Ambulance yesterday and was offered a position as an EMT-B. I begin my new career path on Feb. 8th! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to become an EMT. I greatly appreciate all the knowledge and training you have given me. You gave me the tools to become successful and I am so grateful. You all helped me to begin to change the lives of my family for the better. (that's a total of 10 people and 1 dog) Words cannot express my gratitude. Please reach out to me if you need help with the next class, I look forward to sharing my knowledge with others." Sincerely, Gina R. (EMT-B Graduate) |
“ICNC's placement service was a great help to me in finding a new Office Manager. I sent Priscilla a job description and after she gave me some helpful advice on the job market and appropriate salary range for our position, she took it from there… I am confident that ICNC helped me find a much better candidate with much less effort than I possibly could have on my own”.

There is a sense of community that has allowed me to share ideas with other entrepreneurs, helping fine tune the ideas before putting them into action. The entire ICNC staff also is supportive, helping solve business problems. The ICNC is a great resource for a growing company."
