Michael Carlos
Student Spotlight (2016)
“The ACE program is great. We covered everything from automation, PLC’s, microprocessors,
AC/DC electronics, hydraulics and so much more. It was a great opportunity to gain
new skills, which eventually helped me find a great job with Walmart Fulfillment.” - Michael Carlos, ACE graduate & new Walmart Fulfillment employee
Michael Carlos is a great example of a nontraditional student who returned to community
college and dedicated 6 months to gain job skills and training for a new career. Michael
recently graduated from the ACE (Accelerated Certificate & Employment) program in
December 2015. By enrolling in the ACE program, Michael was able to complete his technical
certificate in Industrial Automation. Michael exemplifies a hardworking and dedicated
student. In fact, his classmates nominated him for an “Award of Excellence” due to
his team-oriented attitude and professionalism. After completing the 28 unit program,
Michael interviewed with several employers. However, the job offer he received from
Walmart Fulfillment was the winner. They offered him a great opportunity and an excellent
work schedule that allows him to continue his education.
Upon his recent visit to campus, Michael spoke to the new group of students pursuing
the ACE program. He shared advice with the new cohort and encouraged them to stay
focused and engaged in the program. Michael is now a proud member of Walmart Fulfillment
working as a Maintenance Technician. His long-term goal is to continue his education
and advance into management with his new employer. His new skills, positive attitude,
and persistence helped him land the job of his dreams. Please welcome our newest alumni
to the workforce.
