Program provides funding to help students aged 15 to 29 start a business
Entrepreneurial students who want to be their own boss this summer can now apply for a grant to help launch their own business.
The St. Catharines Enterprise Centre is now accepting applications for the 2023 Summer Company Program.
Students aged 15 to 29 who want to start a business can apply for a chance at a $3,000 grant.
Successful applicants will also get training and mentorship from the St. Catharines Enterprise Centre.
Students can choose almost any time of business, as long as it is not part of an existing or family business.
The business would launch between May and July 2023, and the program will end on September 5th.
"This is a great opportunity for young entrepreneurs to learn what it takes to manage a business, while realizing their entrepreneurial dreams," said Rob Belchior, Small Business Consultant with the St. Catharines Enterprise Centre. "This is about more than funding to support the start up - it’s about helping them develop different skills and experience that will serve as a base for their future endeavours and provide a mentor to connect with to share their experiences."
