Proud Moment: Seven ABSS students signed agreements tonight to begin the Career Accelerator Program (CAP) at Alamance Community College. The students will earn their associate degrees from ACC and work full-time as apprentices. All tuition, books, and fees for the degree program will be covered by their employer allowing them to graduate debt-free in addition to earning specialized certifications. Several of our former students also graduated tonight from the program. CAP is a partnership between ACC, ABSS, and more than a dozen industries across Alamance County. #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
