Will there be enough architects, construction managers and engineers to fill the industry’s needs ten years from now? The ACE Mentor Program of Oregon is working hard to make sure there will be. ACE's mission is to introduce high school students to careers in architecture, construction management, and engineering. This free after-school mentorship program is driven by the committed and enthusiastic participation of volunteer mentors who are practicing professionals in their respective fields. Donors from the Portland business community help ACE provide scholarships to students who will pursue ACE-related majors in college. ACE is a unique partnership among industry professionals – architects, interior designers, engineers, construction managers, high schools and colleges, and other affiliated organizations – who work together to attract young people to careers in design and construction.
