Living Our Values:
Activating Potential

ACT understands that everyone is different. We all have different abilities, interests, and starting points in life. The many choices that learners make determine their future and their liklihood of success. This diversity of journeys, choices, and destinations drives ACT's evolution to improve how we serve all our stakeholders.

Insights and Priorities

At ACT, we believe that every learner – whether they are a middle school student, graduating senior, working learner, or lifelong learner – is on a journey striving for success in college, career, and life. With that in mind, ACT will:

• continue to work alongside learners, and those who serve them, to help everyone discover and fulfill their potential;
• make connections that will help them navigate through the college-going process, into the workforce, and beyond; and
• create a set of solutions and services that do just that, by offering the best resources and tools available with the support and guidance students need.

ACT's commitment to equity is finding new focus through an intentional commitment to Equity by Design. This emphasis will connect ACT's more than 60 years of success as a trusted assessment organization with an accelerated commitment to highlight and amplify diversity, inclusion, and justice in our efforts.

ACT's purpose is meaningful and far reaching. It speaks to our mission to help all people achieve education and workforce success. Together they are key reasons our team members choose to work - and stay - at ACT. Our efforts and energy prioritize empowering team members to do their best.

Insights and Priorities

ACT team members work tirelessly alongside the communities we serve, across the U.S. and around the world:

• with local, state, and national leaders in education who are as passionate as we are about reinventing education and workforce development;
• alongside equity stakeholders with whom we collaborate to make a difference to the diverse populations who are most in need;
  
• together with policymakers who are making decisions about what changes need to be made to address persistent and systemic barriers to equity, access, and opportunity;
• in communities across the country where we live and work, to align our resources and solutions with education and workforce needs;
• with and for individual learners; and
• in the community in Iowa City, the home of our headquarters for more than 60 years.
