I would like to alert you to a brand new initiative called ProjectShop www.projectshop.org.uk, a DTI backed, engineering focused website - which is the place for companies to offer and students to source academically credible project work. The site will act as an effective support tool in the work you already carry out and through encouraging colleagues/students/companies to use the site you can further strengthen your links with industry, encourage idea generation and promote knowledge transfer.

Step Enterprise Ltd is providing the management team and infrastructure for ProjectShop; a company which has significant experience of developing, piloting and sustaining innovative activities and programmes that are seen to assist Government agencies and departments in meeting complex skills and business priorities. We run the Shell Step Programme www.step.org.uk and Graddtobusiness, www.graddtobusiness.org.uk, a site which promotes all student and graduate job and placement programmes in the East Midlands.
