TIMMINS, ON – The Business Enterprise Centre is inviting students aged 15 to 29 to apply for the 2025 Summer Company program. This program provides an opportunity for young entrepreneurs to launch and manage their own summer businesses, gain valuable mentorship from experienced advisors, and access up to $3,000 in funding.
Mike Scott, Business Development Consultant with The Business Enterprise Centre, emphasized the program’s impact: “The Summer Company program gives students an incredible opportunity to explore entrepreneurship, gain practical experience, and build essential business skills. It’s a great way to inspire the next generation of business leaders while boosting the local economy.”
The program has already made a difference for participants like Maverick Carriere, owner of Carriere Property Services and a 2024 program graduate. Reflecting on his experience, Carriere noted: “The Summer Company program is a great resource and I would recommend it to students looking towards entrepreneurship as a career. It was rewarding to be able to make my own money my way while still having an advisor to provide me with feedback and guidance.”
