"For over 36 years, College Pro Painters has provided a premier opportunity for students to jump-start their personal and business success," explains Rodney Larmand, President of College Pro Painters and Action Window Cleaners. "We share similar values with ACE and this partnership reinforces our commitment to providing university and college students the chance to apply their classroom learning, to test their entrepreneurial skills, to solve real world problems and to work toward realizing their full potential."
