Apply to Become a Student Manager/Operator
Be a Part of UFCP Team
The student business manager position is at the top level of our summer employment offerings. Student Managers are the young entrepreneurs who run the local UFCP painting operations. Students who are looking to become manager operator participate in our entrepreneurship training programme held throughout the school year.
This programme provides extensive training on:
- Business administration
- Basic accounting, estimating, and job costing
- Business cycles and key elements
- Sales and marketing concepts and methodologies
- Human Resource Management
- Client management
- Job management
- Time and conflict management
- Usage of our proprietary management and estimating software
Along with the business side, we teach all the elements of the service we provide:
- Safety and job procedures
- Product specifications
- Job processes
- A-Z on painting techniques (detailed training on the painting itself)
In April upon the full completion of school and the successful completion of our programme, participants will operate one of our painting operations for the summer. At that point, our programme’s mentorship element will take over training and guidance. All of our student managers work with our experienced regional and district managers. These district and regional managers work with the managers throughout the entire summer. Student Managers are the heart of the UFCP operation.
Students who become our business manager/operators will gain experience unequaled by most summer positions and exceptional rewards from their successful operation.
