NCEA Transitions to ACTThe National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA), formerly a department of ACT, Inc., has nearly completed its transition to ACT. What does this mean? Content from the NCEA/ACT website will gradually be assimilated into the ACT website, and the NCEA name will no longer be used. Over the next few months, users will find themselves redirected to act.org, but we are striving for seamless execution as we integrate our content with ACT. We will continue in our mission of helping people achieve education and workplace success, and providing insights that help unlock potential throughout the Kindergarten through Career continuum.
