Applications have opened for the 2025 Step Programme, inviting organisations and undergraduates to apply to complete paid project-based placements over the summer.
Participants undertake projects that deliver tangible benefits to local host organisations over an eight-week period during July and August, with the chance to win prizes at the 2025 Step Final in August.
For organisations the programme aims to bring talented individuals together with organisations that are seeking additional skilled resource, while showcasing the variety of opportunities across the island.
Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston said: “The Economic Strategy outlines Government’s ambition of creating an environment that looks to attract a dynamic, skilled and younger working population.
“Initiatives such as the Step Programme play a key role in achieving these ambitions by supporting local undergraduates in achieving their career goals and building their skills in the workplace.
“By offering project placements across a wide range of industries within the Island’s diverse economy, the programme not only aids in personal and professional development but also enables the department to collaborate closely with local organisations and students to showcase the diverse opportunities available in the Isle of Man.”
