Run Your Own Business This Summer

Here's a great opportunity to develop entrepreneurial skills and make money at the same time!

If you're between 15 and 29 years old and going back to school full time in the fall - and you're committed and not afraid to work hard - then check out Summer Company. You could be your own boss with your own business.

First of all, you need a good idea for a summer company. Next, write up a detailed business plan. You can get help with this from your nearest Summer Company Program Provider or on-line from the Canada-Ontario Business Service Centre

Fill out an application form and include two letters of recommendation. If your business plan and application are approved, you'll complete about 12 hours of training and receive up to $1,500.00 in May or June for your venture's start-up costs and up to $1,500.00 in September for your return to school.
