- STEP is an entrepreneurship training that has been designed for students from universities, vocational training institutes, and secondary schools.
- STEP fits the local context because it is the product of a cooperation with several partner universities in Africa.
- STEP boosts the start-up rate by 33% and increases the level of income by 10%.
- STEP provides partner institutions with comprehensive know-how about organizing and conducting the training to support the institutionalization of STEP in the long-term.
- STEP is action-oriented. During the training, the students start their own businesses and gain real-world entrepreneurial experience.
- More than 10.000 students in various countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America have participated in STEP since the first training in 2009.
