The ACE Mentor Program has been an amazing opportunity to experience hands-on work with professionals in the field. It has helped me decide what career path to follow. It is one thing to read about the trades and another to actually construct what you imagine.
Houston, TX
Since 2009 the ACE Mentor Program Houston has given local high school students an opportunity to learn about careers in architecture, construction, and engineering ACE is a unique partnership between the design and construction industry, educational institutions, and the local community working in collaboration to develop the next generation of the AEC industry.
