Created nearly two decades ago, the National College Transition Network (NCTN) - World Education provides technical assistance and professional development services to community college, adult education, and workforce systems. NCTN designs accelerated career pathways, comprehensive student support services, and multi-stakeholder partnerships that help adults attain their educational and career goals and access greater economic opportunity.

NCTN is part of World Education – US Division. NCTN collaborates with other World Education Initiative (WEI) programs to support the success of older youth and adult learners.
