| Student and Industry Partnerships through PAVE |
| Many industry companies involved with PAVE work together with students in their locale to provide additional insights into the industry. These partnerships expand on student’s awareness of opportunities that are available with a career in the industry. Partnerships include plant and showroom tours, visits to schools to discuss the industry with students, donations of goods and services to schools, and internship opportunities. |
