We offer a unique opportunity for students interested in Entrepreneurship with the potential of college credit! We offer a full time job as a driver for Hilton Head Bicycle Company, the premier location for bicycle sales, rentals and service on the Island. With over 2,000 rental bikes and 12 delivery trucks we service the entire island and need additional drivers for the summer. Additionally, we provide housing on Hilton Head and close to the Beach!
Your primary job duties will be delivering and picking up bikes from vacation properties all over the Island. It is necessary to be able to lift bikes on and off the truck and have a valid drivers license.
The Entrepreneurship program is entering its fourth season in 2023 and meets each week for 10 weeks. We use the actual financial reports for this business to teach Profit and Loss Statements, Balance Sheets, Cash Flow Statements, Business Valuations and the Due Diligence process. In our first three years we have had students from Syracuse, Rollins, Wofford, UGA, Univ of Alabama, Holy Cross, Univ of Tenn, Loyola, Univ of Arkansas, Miss State, Univ of North GA, Rhodes, CU Boulder, College of Charleston, Jackson State and Bridgewater State. Led by experienced entrepreneurs, the program awards a Certificate of Completion following satisfactory performance as judged by Professor Chris Hanks, founder of the Entrepreneurship program at the University of Georgia and at Kennesaw State University. The goal of the program is for students to learn how a business works, expand their contacts and references, and be better positioned for the next summer to get an internship in their chosen field.
The Class of 2021 had 9 students returning to school, and 5 of them were able to get college credit based on the program offered during the summer. The hourly rate posted includes tips!
Where else can you work and live at the beach, while getting hands on education using the real reports for the company you are working for? We use Quickbooks and share the details so you can see how the reports work together to manage a business while also getting an understanding of the business acquisition process. Led by the owner of Hilton Head Bicycle Company, Jim Hall was Business Person of the Year for Atlanta, and subsequently a judge in the annual contest. He has extensive experience in a variety of companies, relocating to Hilton Head after turning around a manufacturing company from Chapter 7 Bankruptcy to a successful sale to Johnson Controls in 2018.
