What is a Ford PAS partner?
A Ford PAS partner is an institution or organization-typically a college or university, community-based organization, or school district-that promotes and supports the implementation of the Ford PAS program at several sites. For example, a partner would participate in a Business/Education Advisory Council (BEAC), provide technical support, and arrange coordinated learning experiences (CLEs) for students. CLEs are community-based, real-world experiences, such as speaker and expert visits to classrooms, mentoring and job-shadowing experiences, and worksite and campus tours.
