Employee Orientation

Welcome to ACC!

We are excited you’ve chosen ACC to pursue your career! Over the coming days and weeks, you will receive a lot of information about joining the ACC family.

You will meet your fellow new hires in the lobby of Building 3000 at 8 a.m. and then be escorted to the orientation. Wear comfortable shoes; the campus is large! Ample free parking is available in the garage just east of Building 3000. Click here for a downloadable map.
