"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."

“The ICNC has been a wonderful resource to Midwest Wrecking Company for numerous years, but particularly over the past two years. We were looking to hire talent professionals in a few different job functions at our company and the Industrial Council’s staff helped to create and place an ad, sort through resumes and forward appropriate candidates for each position. In the last search for qualified talent, Emily Lo and Nancy Kramer were especially helpful in finding several qualified candidates who possessed the experience and aptitude that we were hoping to find, and were lucky enough to hire a Marketing Contractor that we have had great success in working together. The Marketing Contractor that we hired for the past few months has not only helped to redesign the Midwest Wrecking Company website and promote our company via social media outlets, but also continues to provide fresh ideas to further our marketing campaign and demolition business as a whole.
In addition to their assistance with recruiting talent, the ICNC hosts networking events, provides relevant news stories pertaining to the Kinzie industrial Corridor, and hosts various presentations on industry specific topics to assist with various business aspects. I had the pleasure to attend several events, and despite being a part of a company that has been in business for more than 63 years, I found all of the ICNC organized events to be informative and rewarding.
Priscilla Torrence also reached out to inform our staff of reimbursement programs that we were previously unaware of for company-sponsored training. Priscilla assisted Midwest with all the necessary paperwork and information to help displace some costs associated with training employees. In addition to all of their other esteemed employees, Midwest Wrecking has been especially appreciative of all the consulting that Emily Lo has personally provided to our company and employees throughout the course of the past year. Any time I have called on her with a marketing query, project, or even a question regarding a computer system, she took the time to listen to our concerns and provide more resources and assistance that I could have asked for. We feel that our membership in the ICNC has served us quite well and we look forward to continuing to work together.”

“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”.
