ACE Mentor Program of Greater Austin, TX

Program Description: 

ACE Mentoring Program of Austin enables high school juniors and seniors to experience first-hand the working world of architects, engineers and construction managers, while also exploring the building industry’s many exciting career opportunities.

Working directly with industry professionals, students develop their creativity and skills by designing detailed building projects, often using the same advanced computerized tools their mentors employ. Students also visit major construction projects for an inside look at building systems and components.

Through the ACE experience, many students develop lasting contacts with building industry professionals who can assist them in selecting a college, obtaining rewarding internships and, eventually, finding a job. The program also awards an annual scholarship.
