I am looking forward to getting my education, meeting new people, and learning new connections so that I can build a good group around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Angel is part of ACC\u2019s Career Scholars Program. The all-inclusive scholarship program covers the cost of tuition and fees at ACC and also provides free academic and career support, such as free tutoring, advising, internship and apprenticeship opportunities, resume guidance, and job search support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCareer Scholars was a big opportunity for me, so I just took it. I am somebody that doesn\u2019t know too much or where to go or what to do exactly. To know I have that support from ACC, it feels really good to know that I can go to somebody if I have any questions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing his associate\u2019s degree at ACC, Angel plans to continue his education to meet his career goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want to continue my education and get my bachelor&#8217;s degree. After that, I want to get my real estate license and go forward with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hear more about Angel\u2019s journey in the video above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.austincc.edu\/students\/career-scholars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">austincc.edu\/careerscholars<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ACC\u2019s BUA degree helps students learn how to keep their workplace running smoothly by gaining administrative skills that will help any business thrive.
