Summer Company

What is the Summer Company Program?

 

The Summer Company program aims to inspire more young people to choose entrepreneurship as a career and to equip them with the tools they need to succeed. Students learn how to run a business, receive mentorship and training, and develop skills that are highly valued in all workplaces.

 

How it Works

  • Students between the ages of 15 and 29, who are returning to school in the fall, can register for this program by contacting Huron County Economic Development.
  • The deadline for applications is May 15, 2023, however if you are enrolled in a High Skills Major program and interested in applying to use this as a co-op placement, the deadline is April 30, 2023. Submit your application early to ensure a spot!
  • Once you’re approved, we assign you a mentor, provide basic business training, and then help you start and promote your business!
  • You will receive $1,500 to help with start-up costs, and then $1,500 at the end of the summer upon completion of the program (plus all the money you make from your business!)
