Training for career counselors

The recent 2018 Annual IC3 Conference recognised the need for India’s 350 million students to have at least 1.4 million career counselors to maintain a globally acceptable student-to-school-counselor ratio. In line with this need, the IC3 Institute aims to train over 1,00,000 counselors.

To achieve this aim, the IC3 Institute launched its first residential programme at  Ashoka University, Sonepat, last week. This is a free certificate programme that equips schools to establish robust career and college counseling departments that enable students to make informed decisions.

Designed for full-time high-school counselors and teachers, the year-long certificate programme is structured to be delivered in four distinct one-week modules. These modules will be held once a quarter at partner-host universities such as Ashoka, Shiv Nadar, Ahmedabad and OP Jindal University. The course is supplemented with self-study, online materials, and video conference sessions. The session timeline is as follows:

Session 1: September16-22,  2018 at Ashoka University

Session 2: December16-22, 2018 at Ahmedabad University

Session 3: March 31 –  April 06, 2019 at Shiv Nadar University.
