HISTORY
Since its inception in 2005, ACEC has worked with a multitude of education, business, and community partners to increase career-readiness program development for students that also addresses needed and emerging occupations in the region and continues to represent the needs of the agency’s stakeholders: Business│Educators│Students.

Today, the mission of the consortium is still very relevant. Until graduation rates, remediation, and skilled workforce needs are no longer a concern, ACEC will continue to leverage partnerships to cultivate training and resource programs that elevate the academic achievement of Adams County graduates and meet the workforce needs of the county’s employers.
