ACE gave me the opportunity to learn about the collaboration between architects and engineers in preparation for a construction project. After my experience I was even more interested in structures and how fascinating they can be. As I prepare to graduate with a degree in civil engineering I have the ACE program to thank for my initial interest sparking experience!
St. Louis
Founded in 2002, the ACE Mentor Program of St. Louis supports St. Louis area high school students in their exploration of potential careers in architecture, engineering, and construction.
The ACE program in St. Louis began in partnership with students at the Construction Careers Center with financial support from the AGC. Over the years, the program grew to involve 10-15 students each year with a handful of mentors. The Construction Careers Center closed in 2015, at which time ACE developed a new partnership with St Louis Public Schools. ACE works with students from multiple high schools throughout the St. Louis region.
ACE provides financial scholarships to students interested in design and construction careers.
