The signing ceremony was graced by approximately 75 dignitaries from Fleet Services and the Army, emphasizing the significance of this collaboration. Key figures from Fleet Services by Cox Automotive, including Ted Coltrain, VP of Operations, and Kevin Clark, Head of Shop Operations, delivered speeches during the event.

The PaYS Programme is a strategic initiative that collaborates with private industry, academic institutions, and state and local public institutes to support soldiers in transitioning to civilian employment. It guarantees soldiers five job interviews and potential job opportunities post their Army service. By connecting America’s youth with employers who recognize the invaluable skills, discipline, and work ethic of military service members, the programme promotes a dual commitment to national service and personal development. Since its inception in 2000, the PaYS Programme has successfully engaged over 1,220 employers.
