Deadline extended for Vaughan’s Summer Company program!
Dreaming of starting your own business? The City of Vaughan is giving student entrepreneurs more time to apply to its popular Summer Company program, with the deadline now extended to Monday, April 27.
In association with the Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, this program equips students with the skills, tools, mentorship and resources they need to launch – and grow – their own business. Participants will also have an opportunity to receive up to $3,000 in provincial grant funding to start their businesses.
Don’t miss this opportunity to turn your business idea into reality. Student entrepreneurs between the ages of 15 and 29 are encouraged to apply online.
About the Summer Company program
Through the program, selected students will receive support from the City’s Vaughan Business and Entrepreneurship Centre to develop a business plan, and will be enrolled in Summer Company workshops and receive mentorship to help launch and grow their businesses.
For the sixth year, training and mentorship for the program will be provided through Niagara University (NU). Participating students will gain access to business training in marketing, business modelling, operations and finance, and receive a certificate of completion from NU. This partnership between the City and NU enhances the program by providing participating students with university-level educational opportunities, unique experiential learning and career-focused skill development.
Since the program’s inception in 2001, hundreds of Vaughan student entrepreneurs have been supported in launching their business ideas. Learn more at vaughanbusiness.ca/Summer-Company.
