designed to give students practical experience by giving them the
opportunity to run their own small house painting branch during
their summer break.
Students that we hire are termed Branch Managers and their duties
and approximate hourly commitments are as follows:
Managers are trained on and do the following activities: market
for leads, create estimates, present the estimate to the customer
and sell the job, schedule the job, recruit for and hire the
painters, manage the painters to paint the houses during the
summer, satisfy the customers while doing a quality job.
Spring Term: Part-time (9-10 avg. hours a week) salary is $9/hr

duties of the Managers. We provide all of the licenses and
insurance necessary to be a licensed business in the State of
Washington and Oregon. We process all payrolls and do all taxes.
Our managers are not franchise owners and therefore do not have
to pay an up front cost to be hired and trained by
studentpainters.net. The only thing that a manager must provide
is access to a vehicle, Studentpainter.net supplies all other
capital. The penalty for failure is failure itself. No debts are
incurred.
Students that go through our program gain invaluable real world
experience in business, management, customer satisfaction, and
general interpersonal and entrepreneurial skills. The average
earnings for our Branch Managers last summer was $10,800 +.
Students who qualify for the program for a second and third year
earn even more. It is not only a great way for students to build
their resume and gain unique and valuable experience, but it is a
great way for them to pay their way through college. |
