Andrew Couture, a student from the University of Southern Maine and Windham resident, has been hired as a franchisee by College Pro Painters for 2006. He will be working mainly in the Freeport area.

College Pro’s new franchisees start training for the coming summer in advance of their peak exterior home painting season that runs from May through September, by painting residential exteriors free of charge.

College Pro is a community dedicated to teaching business management and customer service skills to students. College Pro believes that students, management and homeowners are all part of a community of transformation, one they turn to at different times – whether transforming homes with color, shaping a student’s life, or challenging students with a summer job. An internship with College Pro extends a business opportunity to students and helps them gain what matters most in the world today – hands-on experience.

Founded in Canada in 1971, College Pro Painters opened in the U.S. in 1979, and today has operations in 32 states and 9 Canadian provinces. With a nearly 100 percent full-time employee base of prior student franchisees, it continues to be one of the largest internships opportunities in North America.
