The KEDCO Entrepreneurship Centre is proud to be involved in promoting entrepreneurship in the community to today´s youth. In partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Small Business and Entrepreneurship and the Canadian Youth Business Foundation (CYBF), the Centre offers programs for young entrepreneurs.
Summer Company
Our Summer Company student entrepreneurship experience provides hands-on business training and mentoring - and awards of up to $3000 - to help enterprising young people start up and run their own summer businesses. It´s a great opportunity to develop entrepreneurial skills and experience - and make money.
If you’re 15-29 years of age and a student returning to school full-time in the fall, you can qualify to start a summer company with KEDCO. You must be a resident of Ontario a Canadian Citizen or a Landed Immigrant and not operating an existing business or employed elsewhere during the summer, and if you’re prepared to commit at least 9 weeks to the experience - and you have a strong business plan or idea - then our Summer Company program may be for you!
