SAC’s 工作见习日 Program Named Finalist for Bellwether Award

工作见习日, an annual event in which SAC students spend half a day with  architecture and engineering professionals, was recognized as a finalist for the Bellwether Award, a national honor that focuses on trendsetting academic programs.

The award is given by the Bellwether 大学 Consortium, composed of colleges addressing critical issues faced by community colleges through research, workforce development, and instructional programs and services.

每年, colleges from across the United States submit nominations for the Bellwether Award with only 30 becoming finalists. From these selected colleges, awards are given for one of three categories.

自2013年以来, SAC students have participated in 工作见习日 getting an up-关闭 look at their future careers. They visit local architecture and engineering firms and have conversations with employees. Some students also visit construction job sites to see how ideas go from the drawing board to becoming new buildings.

Several of the architecture and engineering professionals that students meet were once SAC students themselves. Many of those former students first learned about their careers when they participated in 工作见习日.

工作见习日 has received support from the 阿拉莫大学 Foundation and  O’Connell Robertson, a leading architecture, engineering and interior design firm in 圣安东尼奥, which has helped organize the event since it began.
