We’re thrilled to announce a new milestone for the Oracle ACE program! Unveiled during Oracle AI World, the brand-new ACE Apprentice level is designed for technology professionals and Oracle enthusiasts who are just beginning to share their knowledge and want to grow within our global community.

What is ACE Apprentice?

ACE Apprentice is not a gateway, but a roadmap—a supportive entry path for individuals who are passionate about Oracle technology and eager to begin their advocacy journey. While this new level welcomes those interested in amplifying their voice, the regular ACE nomination processes for established contributors remain unchanged.

Both registration methods can be found at ace.oracle.com/join.

Who are ACE Apprentices?

ACE Apprentices are anyone who wants to take the next step in their careers through this entry-level advocacy path to the Oracle ACE program. The ACE Apprentice level might be right for you if:

  • Your employer uses Oracle technology, and you want to start sharing your knowledge within the Oracle ecosystem.
  • You’re already a technical expert but want to learn more about sharing your knowledge publicly and building your professional profile.
  • You’re a university student or recent grad seeking opportunities to grow your skills, expand your knowledge, and build your global network in the Oracle community.
  • You’re using Oracle’s always-free products for personal projects and want to get more involved in the Oracle tech community.

Benefits of Membership
