Ignite ICR is a unique summer program designed for college students and interns working in the Iowa City-Cedar Rapids (ICR) region. This summer event series gives students the opportunity to meet each other, explore the incredible culture in the ICR area, connect with young professionals, and imagine a future for themselves here in the community. Ignite ICR is hosted by the Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance, Iowa City Area Development Group and Marion Economic Development Corp.
The 2022 program kicks off for students on June 9, from 3-5 pm at NewBo City Market in Cedar Rapids. The focus of this initial networking event is to share all things Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, including an overview of the region followed by a discussion on the topic of navigating a hybrid work environment. It’s a great opportunity for interns to break the ice and meet others in the program, network and discover more about the region they will be spending the next several months in.
