Ranjit Sidhu

"Having spent most of my career dedicated to supporting educators and ensuring students leave high school ready to transition to postsecondary and work opportunities, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to rejoin ACT in 2022. I have long believed that ACT’s expansive solution suite provides not only the ability to measure an individual’s readiness to succeed in education and work, but that the data from those solutions can – and should – provide insights for improvement that can transform individual lives and communities and reshape how our systems prepare individuals to succeed. By executing on our vision, I firmly believe more people will possess usable credentials and be connected to meaningful opportunities that will enrich their lives and benefit their communities."
