"The first semester of Apprentice Austin has been extremely successful,” said Billy Moyer, vice-chair of the Apprentice Austin program and co-founder and president of SOS Leadership Institute. “There has been so much support from the universities, mentors, the community, and, of course, from the apprentices. The graduation is our opportunity to recognize both the apprentices and the mentors and to hear first hand about their experience. It will truly be a night to remember for all involved and I am so fortunate to play a small part in it."
