The Shell Technology Enterprise Programme: benefits reported by students and “host” employers

Abstract

To assess the short‐term effectiveness of the Shell Technology Enterprise Programme (STEP), students and “host” employers who participated in the programme in 1994 were interviewed prior to and 12 months after completing the programme. The short‐term benefits of the programme for participating undergraduate students and independent “host” businesses are highlighted. The long‐term implications for Shell UK Limited and the wider policy community are discussed.
