Speaking on their partnership with IC3 Movement, Shaheem Rahiman, CEO, Atria University said, “We are delighted to partner with IC3 Movement to facilitate an increased awareness around emerging academic pathways for students. Massive adoption of digital technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud technology have redefined the careers of the future. And high school students are unaware of the new, future-focused academic programs available to them. This is where prominent career counseling platforms such as IC3 help bridging the information gap.”
