Ice Miller partner Melissa Proffitt was quoted in the Indianapolis Business Journal article, "Indiana Delegation Heading to Switzerland to Learn about Apprenticeship System"

The article included:

More than 100 influential Hoosier figures in business, government, nonprofit and education leadership will embark on a trip to Switzerland next week to learn best practices from a European nation that has led the way in work-based learning opportunities for students.

The Indy Chamber Leadership Exchange, an annual event described as “an exclusive immersion into the economic infrastructure of other major metropolitan areas,” will travel to Zurich, a global center for banking and finance that also holds the distinction of having one of the world’s best apprenticeship models.

“This could be a real game-changer for the state of Indiana,” said Melissa Proffitt, chair of the Indy Chamber’s board of directors and partner at Indianapolis-based law firm Ice Miller LLP. “This is a singularly focused trip for Indiana leaders to understand the Swiss system and how we can implement it here in Indiana.”
