Every high school in the province appoints a YES student representative to review program information and help point interested students in the right direction. These representatives are also available to set up information sessions with YES consultants. Students can obtain an application form from their local Business Service Centre or an Open for Business location. The application must be submitted, along with a business plan for review by Nova Scotia Economic Development, before May 30 in the year they wish to start their business. Business operation training provided Seminars help you get the licences you need, handle your accounts, and reach your goals.
Mentors give continuing support during the summer.
Stop by a Business Service Centre in your area. Their ideas have turned into almost 2,500 summer jobs, for themselves and others too. Many of these young summertime entrepreneurs have become the job creators of today's Nova Scotia economy. The YES program is about chasing dreams. For many students, it's more than that.
