Community organizations come to AACC to partner with classes and students for help in accomplishing their mission. Students take what they've learned in class and apply it to these real-world situations. For example, Books for International Goodwill accepts book donations and sends them to countries which lack access to textbooks. Students organized a campuswide drive to collect, package and transport the books. Books were collected from all three campuses. This gave the students an opportunity to practice planning, organization and logistical skills as they collected over 5,000 books. A win-win situation.
Students can elect to complete an internship with one of the hundreds of local companies in the AACC internship database. Employers look favorably on potential employees who have experience in the field and those potential employees whose experience exceeds what can be learned in the classroom.
Our Business Resource Center is fully equipped with a business library, private and group workspaces, a conference room, Wi-Fi access, and computers with internet access and the software applications helpful to those starting new ventures.
AACC students have the opportunity to compete for award money! Just set up display tables showcasing original ideas and pitch them to judges from the local business community who use “Riverhawk Dollars” to invest. The ideas receiving the most Riverhawk “money” win.
Students prepare résumés and cover letters in their "Business Communications" (BPA 162) and "Marketing Principles" (BPA 125) classes. Judges conduct mock interviews, score the letters/résumés and select finalists. The finalists have lunch with the judges in a business setting where proper etiquette is explored.
A competition at AACC for high schoolers! Students pitch their new venture business concept to a panel of judges. The winning teams go on to the next round of the competition.
Business students can apply for the following institutional scholarships through MyAACC:
