Already doing the work
The Madison story is the starting point
Make A Path Foundation is building automotive career pathways with schools and industry. The work is underway, not just an idea or proposed initiative.
Mock interviews began at Madison High School in October 2025. From that starting point, MAP developed school relationships, introduced students to dealerships and repair facilities, organized experiences and helped facilitate paid opportunities.
