With the goal to train 100,000 professionals and impact 176,000 schools within a 15-year period, the IC3 (International Career and College Counseling) Movement seeks to enable high schools to help their students make best-fit higher education and career decisions. Comprising three key initiatives: the Annual IC3 Conference, IC3 Regional Forums, the IC3 Institute and the IC3 Live, the IC3 Movement aims to empower every school to run a robust, fully functioning, career and college counseling department.

The IC3 Institute, the non-profit arm of the IC3 Movement and based out of India and the U.S., aims to empower teachers and counselors to better equip their students with the skills and knowledge needed to successfully navigate the changes related to higher education as well as the careers and industries of the future. In its third year of programming, the Institute has seen a rapid expansion and outreach, now reaching 125+ counselors and teachers from 11 countries through its core, one-year program and approximately 400 additional counselors in almost 30 countries through shorter, focused virtual workshops and intensives. The primary focus of the IC3 Institute is the provision of a one-year certification program that trains teachers/counselors to develop professionally and establish a fully functional career counseling office in their high school. This certification program, supported by leading global universities, is offered free of cost to the attendees. Additionally, the Institute serves as a think tank for research and thought leadership on issues of student decision-making and mobility; the impact of the IC3 Institute and its curricula; and issues of college readiness and workforce development.
