Description:
Learn how to run a business and gain real-world rewards as a student entrepreneur. A College Pro business is prime training ground for developing managerial and financial skills that apply to any career, and our students leave with a proven track record in the real world of business. We are looking for people who want to be the boss and run the business. We are selecting students to run a window cleaning business – not be the window cleaner! College Pro is a franchise system – much like a McDonald’s or Subway restaurant. The biggest difference is we don’t ask for a franchise fee up-front. College Pro receives a royalty (a percentage) of the sales that the franchisee produces during the summer. We train our students during the spring on all of the aspects necessary to run a window cleaning business, including teaching about window cleaning, marketing, estimating, people hiring and management, customer service and financial management. We teach, support and coach our students both in the classroom and out in the field, while allowing them to gain hands-on experience in a lot of those elusive skills that future employers are looking for. These skills aren’t specific to the window cleaning industry – these are real life skills that they’ll be able to use in the future, regardless of their future career options! During the spring, the manger’s job will be to do estimates for homeowners for the window cleaning of their homes. We teach how to properly price out the job using our 20+ years of estimating standards, and we teach how to sell the jobs to the homeowners. Our franchisees are busy on a lot of the weekends during the spring doing estimates – but we don’t set their schedule – they do, as school is the number one priority for all of our franchisees! So if they are particularly busy one week, or if they have a big test to study for, they can choose to not do work on a weekend. During the summer, the franchise managers oversee the selection, training and production of their work force. Our average franchisee oversees 1-2 employees during the summer. Each franchisee has a coach that guides them through their journey of learning how to run a successful business. They talk to their coach on a weekly basis and are free to get as much help as they want or need to reach their summer goals. It is a challenging position that requires a student that really wants to learn and grow during the summer!
