Technology Sponsors

Technology sponsors of i.c.stars play an integral role in the design and delivery of our program curriculum, from software donations, to leading client engagements, to providing research and leading workshops on everything from managing an RFP process to mock interviewing. The i.c.stars program would not exist without the financial and volunteer support of these amazing, forward thinking, leaders and organizations. Sponsors
