PAVE helps veterans and caregivers find new career paths and passions.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cThat is the point: to help people understand that they still have a way to contribute and find meaningful employment where they are engaged and enjoying life.\u201d &#8211; Lauren Lobrano<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. In the last ten years, there have been great\u00a0strides in the veteran space, but there is still room for improvement.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cThere\u2019s always more that we can do to keep this in the forefront of people\u2019s minds &#8212; employers and hiring managers &#8212; and make sure that they understand what individuals are still able to do.\u201d\u00a0&#8211; Lauren Lobrano<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3.
