STEP

The STEP training (Student Training for Entrepreneurial Promotion) is an action-oriented entrepreneurship training, which is funded by the DAAD and the German Commission for UNESCO. The training content itself was developed in cooperation with lecturers of the Makerere University Business School, Uganda Christian University, Kyambogo University and Leuphana University of Lüneburg. Since then STEP has been successfully implemented at different institutions in several African countries, in Mexico and on the Philippines

The STEP training is based on the action-regulation theory (Frese, 2009; Frese & Zapf, 1994; Hacker, 1998) and views action as the most important factor for successful entrepreneurship. During the training lecturers of the different institutions deliver the training to their students. They learn how to deliver the STEP training and its action-oriented training approach with the help of a train-the-trainers workshop conducted by the German STEP team. Teaching lecturers of the institutions in how to conduct the STEP training leads to a more sustainable implementation in the long run. Every implementation of the STEP training is evaluated according to highest scientific standards. These evaluations allow us to gain insights into the effects of the training on the students’ and teachers’ change in knowledge and skills, the impact of the training on students’ and teachers’ behavior and the long-term success of the training.
