ACT – a great place to work
At ACT our mission is to make a positive difference to people’s lives by providing excellent learning programmes. We’re great at what we do, but want to be even better. We want to deliver the best possible outcomes for every one of our learners, and we want ACT to be an absolutely brilliant place to work. We think that’s a pretty exciting and rewarding challenge, and we’d love your help in achieving our ambition to be the very best.
We know we’ll only be successful if all of our people are happy and have everything that they need to work to the best of their ability. As such, we’re focused on finding and keeping the most talented people, and investing in them so that they thrive and grow and enjoy their time with us.
Transforming lives through learning is at the heart of everything we do. We strive to be Wales’ leading, most inclusive training provider—empowering people to achieve their full potential and creating opportunities that make a real difference.
