As a leader with a long history of supporting student mobility and transfer in Canada, ACAT recognizes that learner pathways and mobility success involves developing and supporting pathways into, within, and between jurisdictions. Led by its operational lead, the ACAT Secretariat, ACAT is an active member of PCCAT, working with our counterparts in other jurisdictions to develop clear goals for interprovincial student mobility and transfer, and to support and promote seamless transfer and mobility throughout the country.
