Markham Small Business- Calling all students
Programs include:
Summer Company Program – This program provides high school and postsecondary students $3,000, hands-on training, and mentoring from York University’s startup incubator, YSpace, to start and run their own company over the summer (July and August). Applications are now open for 2022.
Pitch Your Biz Markham – High school and post-secondary students can compete either as an individual or up to a group of 3 by submitting a slide deck showcasing a potential business. The prize categories are broken up between a Gr. 9 and 10, a Gr. 11 and 12, and a post-secondary category where the winners of each category will get $500. There is also a single general video pitch prize category where, if an individual or team’s slide deck is accompanied with a video pitch, there is a chance to win an additional $200. Submissions will open soon and the deadline will be in late June 2022.
