Apprenticeship Program
NICA has created an apprenticeship program in which culinary students can learn the art ice carving. The student will be required to work with a certified Ice Carving Educator that runs one of these accredited programs. The student will learn basic competencies and have the opportunity to work with ice and build a portfolio.
