Dog Grooming School
Start a dog grooming school that qualifies for government workforce grants because dog groomers fall under vet technician classifications. Create your own curriculum since you are the expert. Train students, keep the best groomers for your own business, and certify the rest to work elsewhere. One dog groomer specializing in doodles charges $250 per trim and is booked 6-8 weeks out. The school side generates grant revenue while solving your own staffing needs.
