Job description

SWMP is looking for driven, coachable people to run their own Home Service business before they graduate through our 8-month Business Program, starting this winter and wrapping up in the fall.

You’ll spend the off-season (winter/spring - first semester) preparing sales, planning, and recruiting your team with direct mentorship from people who've built real businesses themselves. Then you’ll spend the summer as the general manager of your own operation: leading a crew, serving customers, and owning your financial results.

Program structure:

• Winter and Spring: Business planning, sales training, and team recruitment, supported by hands‑on coaching (You will be working half‑time while going to classes)
• Summer: Full operational control. You run the business day to day (Full-time)
• Fall: Wrap‑up, results review, and case‑study‑worthy outcomes for your resume

What we look for:

• Strong track record of sustained effort: academically, athletically, or otherwise. You don't shy away from hard work
• A bias toward ownership: you'd rather be responsible for the outcome than manage a piece of it
• Comfortable with direct, honest feedback and quick to apply it
• Genuinely curious about what you're capable of running something real

What you gain:

Hands‑on general management experience, a real P&L to point to, a mentor relationship that outlasts the summer, and a concrete answer to "tell me about a time you led a team" that isn't hypothetical.

Average earnings during the 1st year are 27k - 29k

Applications for this winter's intake are open now.
