Northeast
About Us
Founded during the 2006-2007 school year with significant support from the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), the ACE Mentor Program of Northeast Florida, helps high school students explore potential careers in architecture, construction and engineering.
Through the program, mentors from local industry professional firms meet with students for two hours once a week for 15 weeks. During these sessions, students work in teams to create practical solutions for “real-world” projects. It’s an effective way for students to experience the reality of what architects, contractors and engineers do during a typical working day.
Having just completed our fifth year of the program, we had teams from three schools – A. Philip Randolph Academies of Technology, Orange Park High School and Englewood High School. The 2011-2012 program will start in January. CLICK HERE for 2011-12 proposed sessions.
