DfE re-launches Step programme following Covid-19 pandemic
Local businesses are being asked to sign up for a project which offers undergraduates ‘meaningful’ short term work experience.
The Department for Enterprise is re-launching the Step programme – it was stopped in 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Since 2002 around 500 students have been offered summer placements across a number of sectors.
Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston said: "The Island's long term Economic Strategy highlighted an ambition to make the Island more attractive to an economically active and younger population, focused on delivering rewarding careers, reskilling/upskilling opportunities and enhanced earning potential.
"Initiatives such as the Step Programme aim to support local students to pursue their career ambitions and further their skills, by establishing and promoting project placements to help them gain experience of the diverse range of career opportunities and specialisms across the Island."
