On October 28, 2021, ICD held a hybrid online and in-person Fall 2021 Graduation Ceremony.

The ceremony served as an opportunity to safely gather and see the excitement of students and their family and friends as we celebrated their incredible accomplishments.

The night was filled with smiles, laughs, and excellent speakers, including Adrian, a Custodial Graduate (pictured to the left with his instructor, Deshaun), who gave a beautiful poetry reading in American Sign Language.

In addition to celebrating our graduates, ICD also presented two partner awards during the ceremony.

ICD was honored to present the Internship Partner of the Year Award to New York City Department of Social Services' (DSS) Partnership for Inclusive Internships program. This past year, ICD’s Cisco CCNA students served as interns at DSS and provided expert technical support to thousands of employees as they aided New Yorkers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

ICD was also honored to present the Employer Partner of the Year Award to Goodwill NYNJ. Over the past year, Goodwill NYNJ assisted ICD's employment specialists by helping to place over 20 Custodial and Building Repair Technician graduates in jobs at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
