ACE Mentor Los Angeles

Currently 55% of the world’s population live in urban areas. This is expected to increase to 68% by 2050. That's why many builders are turning their focus toward more sustainable materials and innovations that will protect our environment moving forward. This Thursday's virtual student session is presented in collaboration with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Make sure you are registered by clicking the link below and join us from 3:30-5 p.m. to learn about sustainability and new technologies in the building environment helping to mitigate climate change! https://zoom.us//regi/tJYvfuirrj8vH9brcQDQFZKG_uqRu2dQSE34 #sustainabledesign #sustainability #ACEMentorLA #ACEMentor #STEMeducation

Construction will account for 1/3 of all new jobs through 2022, according to NPR and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. As the United States works toward a massive overhaul of the nation's roads, bridges and airports, the U.S. Department of Education reports that there will be 68% more job openings in infrastructure-related fields in the next three years. Now more than ever, trades jobs are in high demand and, in many cases, low supply. There has never been a better time to purs...ue a career in the trades, and ACE is here to support those pursuing these fields. This Saturday, Dec. 5 will be our annual Trades Day event, held virtually. The session will include plenty of fun activities and resources to help you move toward your future in the trades. We hope to see you there! For the full NPR article: https://www.npr.org//high-paying-trade-jobs-sit-empty-whil #constructionindustry #tradeseducation #ACEMentorLA #ACEMentor #mentoringmatters

December is officially here and #GivingTuesday is upon us. In this season of giving thanks, we want to express our gratitude to all of our ACE sponsors and supporters.
