Our system has proven to be a financially rewarding venture for those students who are willing to work hard and stay dedicated throughout the summer months.

With over 30 years of practical business experience, we have developed a framework to guide your son/daughter through their business’s financial and operational components and protect them in their business venture. In addition, we have numerous support staff, including Regional Managers, District Managers, and Administrative Staff who are dedicated to helping your son/daughter have a prosperous career with University First Class Painters. We will also provide your son/daughter with contact information for current and former student managers so that they can discuss the position with someone who has the first-hand experience in this position.
