University Partnership Program (UPP)
Having successfully delivered several international recruiting events worldwide for North American universities, based on our clients’ needs and encouragement, ICE has ventured into yet another bold, exciting and dynamic area. ICE’s University Partnership Project attempts to address the needs of North American universities where ICE will serve as a catalyst and interface with overseas universities in an effort to administer courses worldwide, establish international campuses and once again, serve as the one-stop and full-serve solution for an institution’s international needs. ICE is a young and dynamic organization with visionary thinking and our phenomenal growth has already generated tremendous momentum among leading international educational institutions.
