Sponsors become part of PROVE Lab. Beyond project partnerships, companies connect with our team through recruiting events, technical workshops, and networking opportunities designed to build lasting industry relationships.

Industry professionals share insights through guest talks, Q&As, and panel discussions — covering EV battery tech, sustainable engineering careers, agile hardware development, and breaking into the auto industry.
Technical workshops
Hands-on sessions led by sponsor engineers on CAD and simulation (ANSYS, SolidWorks), battery design and BMS fundamentals, motor control and power electronics, and recruiting prep.
Recruiting nights
Annual events connecting sponsors directly with PROVE's engineering talent outside the formal career fair environment.
After-meeting mixers
Post-meeting networking dinners or socials — PROVE handles logistics, advertising, and student coordination.
Resume bank access
Sponsors receive exclusive access to PROVE's member resume bank and can post jobs and internships directly to our team.

Access engineers across six specialized subteams: High Voltage, Low Voltage, Mechanical, Aeroshell, Manufacturing, and Business.
