BECKELY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – The Academy of Careers and Technology (ACT) has been awarded to USA TODAY’s inaugural list of America’s Top Vocational Schools 2025. The award list was announced on July 22nd, 2025, and can currently be viewed on the USA TODAY’s website.
The ranking of the best schools offering vocational training via undergraduate certificate or diploma is based on an analysis of five Key Performance Indicators. The five dimensions evaluated during our research were: Graduation Rate, Graduate Salary, Years to Pay Off Net Price, Social Mobility, and Diversity. Data on the schools’ performance was collected through publicly available sources like IPEDS and College Scorecard. ACT work closely with industry partners to ensure their curriculum meets the current workforce demands. This alignment allows students to graduate with relevant, high-demand skills that translate directly into employment opportunities, often without the burden of long-term student debt. All schools were benchmarked against one another using the final score. Based on the results of the study, ACT has been recognized as one of America’s Top Vocational Schools 2025. This award serves to reinforce your institution’s unwavering commitment to excellence in hands-on education, career readiness, and workforce development.
