Aptitude assessment and CTE solutions provider YouScience has acquired the National Center for College and Career Transitions (NC3T), expanding YouScience's ability to help students find and prepare for the career and college options that best fit their interests and abilities, according to a news announcement.

NC3T's solutions include consulting and planning services, workshops, and a browser-based software platform all aimed to help schools develop career-connected learning strategies and help educators manage career exposure activities and work-based learning programs.

YouScience said the acquisition further accelerates its goal to "help students succeed in their college and career journey by identifying their aptitudes and connecting them to their best-fit career and educational pathways."

YouScience will integrate NC3T's work-based learning platform, called Seamless WBL, with its Discovery aptitude assessment solution and Precision Exams industry certifications to "better support districts, schools, and educators in preparing students for college and careers," the company said in its announcement. YouScience will continue NC3T's professional development, workshops, and consulting services, as well.

"Work-based learning and career-informed classroom resources are a natural complement to our mission to empower every student, regardless of race, gender, geography, or environment, to find their best-fit educational and career pathway," said Edson Barton, founder and CEO of YouScience.
