"I discovered who I really was, found my strengths and weaknesses, put myself through challenges with different objectives, gained self-confidence and learned to expect more from myself."

You could do a lot of things this summer. But no other experience can provide you with the exceptional leadership and management training that helps you stand out now and in life after college. College Pro is the largest and most successful student painting company in North America because it provides a challenging, real-life business experience that inspires excellence. You‘re already working on your education in school, but this summer learn the tools you will need in order to make and manage money, run your own business and gain the self-confidence you will need for any future career.

As a Franchise Manager you’re in charge of your own College Pro painting business. You market your services to homeowners and manage multiple painting teams who are responsible for delivering quality work on schedule and within budget. You’re responsible for the profitability of your own business.

Yes, that’s a lot. As a Franchise Manager, you should be prepared to work long and hard to make your business successful. And we are in this with you every step of the way. Our exceptional leadership and management training program provides the tools you need to succeed.

College Pro will train you during the spring on all of the aspects necessary to run a summer house painting business, including teaching you about paint and painting, marketing, estimating, effective management skills, customer service and financial management. We teach, support and coach you both in the classroom and out in the field, while allowing you to gain hands-on experience in the skills that will ensure that you will stand out to any future employer.

Each summer we select over 700 driven, enthusiastic young entrepreneurs across North America to run their own business from more than 25,000 who apply. These students employ another 7,000 additional workers. All of them represent a brand recognized throughout North America, so we are particular about who enters the system – and supportive of those we choose. Find out what franchise managers say about how a summer job with College Pro can help you to meet tons of new people, make money to help pay your tuition, and learn new skills that can be applied to your future employment endeavors.

Does this still make sense for Graduating Students or recent graduates? Absolutely. How many friends do you know that go into their first jobs after graduating and dislike it? Or don’t know what they want to do? Or want to work and then travel before they start a career, but can’t get enough money to pay for it? This opportunity provides graduating students or recent graduates a chance to make money while they increase skills and make themselves more attractive to employers, or better skilled to run their own business. We would be happy to connect you to others franchisees who were in your situation and became a franchisee in their graduating year or after they graduated.

"When you get in a room with a bunch of College Pro people it’s like being in a room of people who are going to make you better. It’s definitely competitive but when we all push each other we all grow."
