Our Story
Through events like the IC3 Conference and IC3 Regional Forums, and now through IC3 Live, we aim to sensitize leaders of educational institutions around the world to the need and criticality of a robust career and college counseling department: for high school leaders to invest in the setup and maintenance of this office in their schools, and for university leaders to take a counseling-oriented approach to recruitment and outreach.
Responsible counseling is about helping students find answers to three important questions: 1. What to study, 2. Where to study, and 3. How to make it happen. Counseling should not only manage the process of applying but more importantly provide guidance for students in making these important decisions.
IC3 advocates for counseling to begin directly from class 8 or 9, with a complete curriculum for counseling in each grade throughout high school. IC3 provides counselors with the tools necessary to build these processes through IC3 events and the IC3 Institute’s one-year certificate program. The IC3 Institute has been established with the goal of training 100,000 professionals in the next 15 years to better equip professionals in the field through training and resources.
