Back to SearchPembroke, (ON): Enterprise Renfrew County (ERC) is searching for students who are smart, ambitious and eager to explore the world of entrepreneurship and start their own business!
The Summer Company Program is a unique opportunity for students aged 15 to 29 to create their own business and become their own boss running their business. Summer Company will help you learn what it takes to be an entrepreneur and provides funding to get you started. Students receive an initial financial award of up to $1,500 to help start up their business after completion of the training, most of which is conveniently conducted virtually. The student entrepreneurs will receive up to $1,500 additional financial support at the end of August upon successfully operating their business for the summer.
Summer Company businesses have included: street food vending stands, handmade artisanal items, graphic art production, logoed apparel, baked goods, market gardens, lawn care services, auto detailing, dog grooming, esthetics, firewood processors, upcycling clothing, handcrafted cottage décor and rustic furniture, children’s entertainment, photography, photo restoration and small engine repair. Many Summer Company entrepreneurs continue to run their businesses year ‘round and over following summers.
“Summer Company is an incredible program through which students are given the tools to learn how to be an entrepreneur,” shares Jackie Stott, Economic Development Coordinator. “It enables students to follow their dreams to run their own business and create the summer job of their dreams.”
Summer Company is supported by Enterprise Renfrew County on behalf of the Province of Ontario and is a very popular program, so we encourage interested students to apply at the earliest opportunity. The application deadline is midnight May 27, 2022.
