20.01.2022 Our approach at ICE is to tailor-make and individualise each training plan to suit the employer and the apprentice. ICE has a unique and fresh way of offering a blend of on the job, off the job, and college-based learning for each individual, depending on their needs. More about what makes ICE different here: https://theice.edu.au/the-difference/differences/

I am almost ready to pass on the baton to you in the next couple of years when I retire, and I know that you're ready for this too in the future. I have every faith in you Danielle... With or without your hat, please know that I am grateful, thankful and most of all honoured and privileged to have you in my life, not only as my brilliant 2IC at ICE, but as my friend too xx
