The Ultimate Summer Business Experience

Student Works Painting is in the business of developing leaders. Since 1981, thousands of motivated university and college students nationwide have taken up the challenge of a summer under the Student Works Painting umbrella.

Over the course of our recruiting season,

• we will meet over 7000 people in order to fill available territories in Western Canada. (B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba)
• we will have some 140 people operating next summer
• each person selected will own and operate a painting business in his or her summer town, thus testing their limits in a true managerial role

After our intensive program, a student operator will:
1. Develop and implement a business plan
2. Recruit and manage employees
3. Market and Advertise his or her business
4. Estimate and sell paint jobs
5. Learn how to run and manage a business
6. Learn how to control costs and analyze financial statements

It is a painting business but it is not the successful applicant’s job to paint. The successful applicants’ responsibility is to run a business. Student Works provides all the training, support, systems, and marketing materials to ensure the success of each successful applicant, which means we can draw people from any faculty regardless of past work experience. Finding the best people and treating them like the best people has made Owner Operator positions with Student Works Painting the most dominant summer leadership opportunity in North America.

As a testament to our success and theirs, many people return for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and even 6th summers of running a Student Works business.
