Educators
Educators in more than 106 communities and 1,100 high schools across the U.S. have seen the difference ACE can make in their students’ academic performance, college aspirations and career motivation.
Today, more than 11,000 students take part in ACE. Working with mentors from local professional firms, they are discovering the rewarding opportunities available to them as architects, interior designers, engineers, construction managers and tradespeople.
No school time is used; no school funds are needed. Students meet after school with dedicated mentors who guide them through engaging, hands-on projects and field trips. These activities reinforce classroom learning in math, physics, art, computer skills and other important subjects, establishing for students a direct link between curricular and career success.

ACE mentors frequently provide qualified students with recommendations for college admissions, internships and full-time employment. ACE has also forged relationships with 44 colleges and universities nationwide who value what we impart to students and factor it into the admissions process.
Furthermore, graduating seniors can apply for ACE scholarships, which last year totaled more than $6.6 million. Find out more about what ACE can offer to your students. Contact us today, so we can start ACE working for your students – and their futures.
