What is the
IC3 Movement?

The International Career and College Counseling (IC3) Movement is a global effort to enable high schools to help their students make the best-fit higher education and career decisions. It aims to empower every school to run a robust, fully functioning career and college counseling department.
Since 2016, IC3 has grown from 285 participants at our first Annual Conference to more than 6,000 educators, universities, and organizations in 2025, touching millions of student lives across the globe.

The past ten years have been defined by one shared belief: that counseling changes education, and education changes lives. Together, we have built a global community committed to ensuring that every child, everywhere, has access to purpose-driven guidance.

As we step into the next decade, IC3 continues to evolve with new initiatives designed to deepen impact, expand access, and sustain engagement with educators, students, and institutions worldwide.
