Ontario Summer Company Program

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 8, 2010 -- How does a student turn the summer into a meaningful (and profitable)
venture?

The Ontario Summer Company Program is an important initiative developed by
the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade to support the
development of students and young entrepreneurs. It is an exciting
opportunity for enterprising students, 15 to 29 years old, to start and run
their own summer businesses with funding from the Ontario government and
with mentoring from members of the local business community.

As a Summer Company Entrepreneur, students and young entrepreneurs aged 15
to 29 can receive a grant for as much as $3000 to start their business in
summer. Students who meet the criteria for funding also receive hands-on
business coaching and mentoring from experienced community business leaders
to help make their Summer Company a success. Who knows? Any one of them
could be the start of something big!

Amanda Collucci, founder and CEO of the cleaning service company Clean4Me
Inc. is one of four mentors supporting youth entrepreneurs participating in

the Ontario Summer Company Program in Markham. Having launched and grown a
successful cleaning service company with over 18 employees offering a broad
range of residential cleaning and commercial cleaning services Amanda can
appreciate the challenges of starting a business.

“Starting a business can be scary,” shares Amanda, recalling
her own start up several years ago. “Having experienced business
mentors beside you to support you during your start up stage is like having
a compass in the middle of a rainforest. With a reliable compass and map,
you can be sure to have a fun and enjoyable journey in the

rainforest.”
