About College Pro Painters
College Pro Painters is one of the most recognized and largest student painting companies in North America. As North America's original student painting franchise system, we support, coach, and mentor students while offering them an opportunity to learn the responsibility and accountability of running their own business.
College Pro was founded by a college student in Thunder Bay, Ontario in 1971. The company began franchising full-time in 1978, expanding across Canada in 1981, and into the United States in 1982. Since then, the business has grown extensively across North America.
Over the past 35 years, more than 8,500 students have operated seasonal franchises employing more than 43,000 other students. Coupled with world class training programs, advancement opportunities, and extraordinary culture, College Pro is one of the most desired summer internship opportunities available.
At College Pro Painters, our core purpose is "together, realizing potentials". By this we mean we see our company as the coming together of potentials: the potential in our student painting franchisees and their paint crews; the potential of the home, which houses our customers' most cherished things-the people they love and the memories and treasures of their lives; and the potential that exists for learning and growth when we meet you.
