Description
STEM Entrepreneur / Business Owner
Turn your STEM experience into something that inspires the next generation.
You’ve built a career solving problems, managing projects and applying science and technology in the real world. What if your next opportunity allowed you to use that experience to build a business of your own while helping children discover the excitement of STEM?
Club SciKidz is expanding nationally and is looking for experienced engineers and other STEM professionals interested in bringing our hands-on STEM education programs to children in their communities.
Founded in 1997, Club SciKidz provides STEM summer camps, after-school programs and in-school enrichment programs for children ages 4–15. Our curriculum includes more than 80 themed programs covering engineering, robotics, coding, chemistry, physics, medicine, veterinary science and other areas of science and technology.
Why this may appeal to you?
You don't need to leave your career behind to explore entrepreneurship. Club SciKidz is a home-based business that can begin as a semi-absentee opportunity and grow over time.
As a franchise owner, you would build relationships with schools and community organizations, develop your local market, hire and manage instructors, and oversee the delivery of Club SciKidz programs. You are building and managing the business—not teaching every class yourself.
Club SciKidz provides an established curriculum, training, technology, marketing resources and ongoing support to help franchise owners develop their local businesses.
We are particularly interested in professionals who have:
A background in engineering, science, technology or another STEM-related field
Leadership, project management, sales or business-development experience.
An entrepreneurial mindset and interest in business ownership.
A desire to make a positive impact on children and their community.
The financial resources required to start and develop a business
Investment.
The estimated initial investment to establish a Club SciKidz franchise is $74,400–$88,500, including a $45,000 initial franchise fee.
Important: This is a franchise business ownership opportunity, not a salaried employment position. Prospective franchise owners should carefully review the Club SciKidz Franchise Disclosure Document before making an investment decision.
