Summer Company
The Summer Company Program provides training, mentoring and grants up to $3,000 to Ontario students, between the ages of 15 and 29, who wish to start a full-time business over the summer.
Through the program you get:
- start-up money to kick-off a new summer business
- 3 months mentorship from local business leaders to help get the business up and running
Learning how to run your own student business is one of the best summer jobs you can have. You get to be your own boss while learning what it takes to manage a business. Sales, marketing, bookkeeping, customer relationship management and networking are just a few of the highly useful skills you’ll develop.
OSBAC programs and services are delivered by The Markham Small Business Centre and are funded in partnership with the Government of Ontario.
