Mason’s gainful employment through the ACCE program allowed him to buy his first car— a 2014 Dodge Charger! The college-based employment program helped him with résumé writing, job interviewing skills, and job placement at Dillard’s Fulfillment Center. Now that he’s in the workforce, Mason says he feels more confident in himself and his abilities. “Working makes me feel important and proud.” #NDEAM #RemarkableTalent
“Mason is an amazing young man. He was definitely a joy to work with as a student. His work ethic and attitude during the program showed how determined he was to succeed and accept any challenge. He took the resources and tools provided to him in the program and put them into action. He was the first student to obtain his driver’s license through the program and to obtain a job in his class. I really enjoyed working with him and his family to reach the goals he had set for himself. I know this is just the beginning of many more accomplishments.”
