The COVID-19 pandemic has made a significant impact on our economy. In these turbulent times, Acuity Knowledge Partners is presenting an opportunity to female professionals, who have taken a break, to revive their careers through a paid internship programme.

With Step Up, we are offering female professionals on a career break an opportunity to re-establish themselves professionally and restart their corporate careers.
