ACGE’s Mission

Our Mission is to Connect Organizations to New Knowledge Through Our Extensive Network of Academic & Professional Resources and Create Innovative Solutions to Meet the Demands of Emerging Project Needs.

What We Do

ACGE brings to a contracted project a combination of academic and workforce talent the equal of any team in the country. Specifically, we engage a group of specialists selected from a national talent pool for the life of a specific project, with client input, who are then managed directly by the ACGE project team. Using this process, we are able to hire different sets of university-based specialists and leading experts to design, develop, and deliver custom programs and solutions as required for major research, education, or training initiatives. We collaborate with our clients through all phases of a project, from conception through completion, to ensure reliability, cost-effectiveness, and maximum contract productivity.

Analysis

We work closely with our clients to evaluate their specific needs and identify project challenges.

Resource Mobilization

Project Management

Execution
