This Women’s Day, we celebrate the women at IC3 Movement, who lead with intention and are driving meaningful change in the world of student counseling.

The journey to the 10th Annual IC3 Conference & Expo moved a step forward with our second Host School Meeting at École Mondiale World School.
It was heartening to see schools and students come together with such enthusiasm, ownership, and a shared sense of purpose. These are the spaces where ideas take shape, confidence grows, and the IC3 experience truly begins.
If your school would like to join this journey as a Host School for the 10th Annual IC3 Conference & Expo, we would love to have you with us.

It wasn’t just about the activities, it was the laughter, the energy and the incredible team spirit that made it all unforgettable.
From silly moments to serious teamwork, Sport-O-Mania was a perfect mix of fun and connection, bringing us closer while making memories we won’t forget! Truly a

The Indian government has announced a wide-ranging education push in , with a clear focus on preparing young people for the job market.
The Budget reflects a growing recognition that careers are becoming more diverse and interconnected.
For the first time, the budget has also formally recognised content creation as a career path, with plans to set up content labs in 15,000 secondary schools. This acknowledges how careers are evolving with creativity, technology, and digital skills at the core.
At IC3, we see this as an important step forward. At the same time, it reinforces why guidance matters more than ever. As opportunities grow and career paths become less linear, students need support to understand their options, make informed choices, and plan for a global future.
How do you see the Union Budget 2026-2027 education initiatives shaping students’ career pathways?
We’d love to hear your views in the comments!
When IC3 first began, our vision was simple: to bring counseling to every school. It may have felt ambitious at the time, but with the incredible support of passionate individuals like you, that vision has turned into a global movement.
As we approach the 10th Annual IC3 Conference & Expo, we are filled with gratitude and excitement. This milestone isn’t just about the journey we’ve made; it’s a reflection of the collective effort and shared vision that’s gotten us here.
The theme for 2026 is “Looking Deeply – From Information to Insight,” and we can’t wait to dive deeper into the conversations that are shaping the future of counseling.
The Call for Proposals is now live. We invite thought leaders to submit session proposals that share meaningful insights, practices, and perspectives from their work. We will also be hosting informational webinars to guide you through the Call for Proposals process. If you have any questions, feel free to DM us.
IC3 has always been built on collective wisdom, and we look forward to the thought leadership that will guide this next chapter.

With everyone sharing their 2016 throwbacks, it felt like the right moment for us to pause and look back too.
With the recent move by CBSE to make 2 counselors mandatory in schools, this aligns perfectly with IC3's mission, giving a big push to support schools in providing students with the guidance and resources they need to succeed.
In 2016, IC3 began with a simple belief: bringing counseling to every school. The idea was clear even then, students need guidance early, consistently, and with care.
A decade later, that belief is finding space at a national level and the conversation is slowly shifting. From being exam-focused to supporting students with clarity, confidence, and well-being.
What started as a small movement has grown alongside the education ecosystem itself.
As we reflect on where we began and look ahead, we’re curious - what should the next ten years of counseling in schools truly focus on? We invite you to share your thoughts with us as we continue shaping the future of education.
And as we mark this milestone, we can’t wait to come together again at the 10th Annual IC3 Conference and Expo in August 2026 to continue this journey of growth and collaboration.

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.
