OROP InN 980-0222 estimates normal complement of 14 who wilt spend this summer painting house exteriors, and earning themselves anywhere betw¢gen $3,500 and $4,500 in thé process. “We only hire students,” says Huslcher, who now has the franchise for the North Vancouver operation. “The great thing about this job is that it’s something you can return to. We've really taken the ‘fly-by-nightness’ out of student painting.” Hulscher should know. He worked as a student painter for three years before taking over the local franchise, and he believes College Pro offers the best opportunity going around for high school and university students. “It's a good deal for the students and the home owners,” he says. “All the painters go through an extensive training course and we have manuals as well to cover all situations. “We're definitely much cheaper than other painting outfits too.” Hulscher expects to paint between 60 and 70 houses this summer, although the economy is-_ affecting painters too, he says. Costs vary depending on the house, but fall between $200 and $2,000 for the homeowner. SECTION WOMEN ¢ FOOD TRAVEL STUDENTS SOLVENT THROUGH PAINTING The company is endorsed by local high schools, universities and Canada Manpower, he says. College Pro is fairly new to Canada, but could set a trend for future student enterprises. It began in 1971 in Ontario, and has spread in the meantime to western Canada, the Pacific Nor- thwest states and New York state. Students work on the job for a couple of years, and then branch out and form their own franchise, em- ploying more students. This year, Hulscher says, about 2,500 Canadian students will be working this summer thanks to College Pro. Many return to their job, year after year. This year, for example, Hulscher says six students have returned to painting for their North Vancouver summer job. A two year = guarantee given on each job by the company also ensures high standards are met. Students interested in finding out more about a possible summer job should contact Hulscher at 926-9644 or 926-0357. They should also consider putting some of the pmnciples behind College Pro to work for themselves to ensure future summer employment.
