Biz New Orleans: NOCC Showcases Real-World Engineering

NEW ORLEANS – In celebration of National Engineers Week (February 22–28), the New Orleans Career Center (NOCC) is showcasing how its trainees gain hands-on experience and direct exposure to engineering careers through its partnership with the ACE Mentor Program of America, a nationally recognized program connecting high school students with professionals in architecture, construction, and engineering.

Through the ACE Mentor Program, NOCC trainees work alongside local engineers, architects, and construction professionals throughout the school year to tackle real-world design challenges that address community needs in New Orleans. The NOCC trainees will present their final projects at the annual ACE Mentors banquet later this spring.
