Adams County Education Consortium

ACEC was founded in 2005 to bridge the gap between the needs of business and the education of students. This effort aims to connect youth to real-world applications to prepare them for the workforce and ensure companies (both existing and future) will have access to a skilled workforce.
Focus:
- Increased relevancy of instruction to post-secondary life
- Improved, educated workforce
- Business involvement in the public school system
- Stronger and more stable community
