Strategic Direction

By 2032, ACT will empower 20.2 million more learners to exit high school ready for postsecondary and work opportunities. 

ACT will be the leader in providing insights on the skills, behaviors, knowledge, and navigation needed for life after high school and will serve as a trusted collaborator to institutions and families in helping learners launch into postsecondary education and workplace success. ACT will address pressing inequities by helping to ensure all students exit high school ready for and connected to postsecondary and work opportunities.
