It creates opportunities that lift up individuals, their families, and sparks societal change that echoes through generations to come. From our grassroots, we have fought the good fight for fairness in education, and we remain devoted to helping anyone who struggles to access that power. This is what matters to us and we must do better -- we've never been more sure of our purpose. ACT Education Corp. team members are part of an organization dedicated to an important mission: Helping people achieve education and workplace success.
