The Faculty of Mathematics will be partnering with the IC3 Institute, an institution that seeks to promote and nurture guidance and career counselling as a profession. In many countries, including the IC3鈥檚 home of India, high school students often do not have access to qualified guidance counselors to help them prepare for higher education and careers after graduation. The IC3 Institute, which grew out of the International and Career Counselling Conference (IC3), provides current teachers and prospective counselors with free or reduced-cost coursework, conferences, and networking events.
鈥淭he University of 蓝莓视频 Faculty of Mathematics is excited to partner with the IC3 Institute,鈥 says Troy Vasiga, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Admissions and Outreach. 鈥淲e look forward to working together on the cause of providing guidance and support to individuals who are new to the field of university counseling.鈥
The Faculty of Math joins thirteen other international universities as consortium partners sponsoring IC3 offerings. In addition to this international sponsorship, there are twelve participating Indian universities that host training activities, as well as a number of government and industry sponsors. To date more than 500 counselors have graduated from the program and more than 700 are currently enrolled, including students from India, Belize, Cambodia, Cameroon, C么te d鈥橧voire, Czechia, Eswatini, Kenya, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Oman, Singapore, United Arab Emirates,聽the United Kingdom, and Zimbabwe.
