What’s happening?
Called The Make It Center, the new 10,000-square-foot facility was built to give students a hands-on experience with in-demand careers, the release states. Construction began March 21, 2022 inside ACC's Highland Campus located at 6101 Highland Campus Drive, Austin. The release states the center will help students cultivate their passions while gaining exposure to new career opportunities.
“There are so many pathways and opportunities out there that people aren’t aware of or haven't heard of. We don’t want the community just clocking in and out at a job. The Make It Center helps them find an exciting career and allows them to earn a living wage in Central Texas,” ACC Chancellor Richard Rhodes said in the release. “We’re working to help people find their purpose and make a career out of their passion.”
