ICON CDC Celebrates 66 New Graduates of the Entrepreneur Training Program

Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez joins ICON CDC Executive Director Roberto Barragan and Entrepreneur Training Program Director, Eric Lara to celebrate 66 Entrepreneur Training Program graduates in Van Nuys, CA.

ICON CDC proudly celebrated 66 new graduates who completed the eight-week Entrepreneur Training Program. The graduation brought together participants, families, and community partners for an evening filled with energy, connection, and meaningful moments.

The celebration welcomed Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez and a representative from the office of California State Senator Caroline Menjivar. Their presence emphasized the impact of entrepreneurship on local communities and the importance of programs that empower individuals to build sustainable paths forward.

Graduates showcased their businesses, shared their progress, and connected with fellow entrepreneurs who have been on the same journey. The room reflected the determination and creativity that defined this cohort, along with the pride of families who supported them every step of the way.

Each graduate received a certificate of completion from ICON CDC, along with recognition certificates from Congresswoman Luz Rivas, Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez, and Councilwoman Imelda Padilla. These acknowledgments celebrated their dedication, growth, and commitment to their entrepreneurial goals.

ICON CDC is proud to walk beside these 66 entrepreneurs. Our team remains committed to supporting every step of their journey as they continue to build, grow, and bring their visions to life.
