The Student Start Up Program is back for its 5th year with the Saugeen Economic Development Corporation.
The program operated by Saugeen Connects is done in partnership with the SEDC and 7 municipalities which includes Minto, Wellington North, Hanover and more for students looking to start a business.
Rose Austin, General Manager of the SEDC says successful applicants will receive start up costs funds and extra support with more cash incentives.
