The 2019 STEP Programme Final will take place later this month.

Hosted by the Department for Enterprise's Support Team it'll take place at the iMuseum in Douglas on Friday, August 23.

The STEP Programme, sponsored by IQ-EQ Isle of Man Limited, matches local organisations with Manx undergraduates for project-based placements during the summer holidays.

Students who take part in the programme then present at the final to judges and an audience.

MHK Lawrie Hooper will open the final event and Enterprise Minister Laurence Skelly will present students with their awards and close the event.
