Each year the college prepares an estimated 6,500 credit students and trains an estimated 10,000 workers for the job market. The ACCC Community Affairs Program is an additional step by the college to enhance its presence in the communities it serves.

Community Affairs Program Advisory Committee

A strong component of this program is the advisory committee, comprised of key leaders from various communities of Atlantic and Cape May counties. Also serving are ACCC faculty and staff members. The committee’s role is to review the program’s operation and provide programmatic suggestions concerning local needs that may be addressed through the program. Membership is open to the public through appointment by the president of ACCC. Interested residents may apply by contacting the director of the program.
