Become a business partner
As a business partner with Steps With Theera you are one of our most valued assets. You can provide our trainees with work experience, internships or (even better) their dream, a paid, forever job. We’re also on hand to sell smoothies and snacks at your events, or to supply your business with lovingly prepared baked goods.

Your business can be a force for change
Businesses are missing out on an untapped pool of potential, and individuals are missing out on their right to a dignified, fulfilling working life.
Ways to work with us
Your business can play a role in changing this. Here’s how.
- Employ our trainees in one of the following ways:
- Work experience (6 weeks, unpaid)
- Internship (3 months, unpaid but lunch and travel expenses should be covered). The goal is that this leads to paid employment for the trainee with your business.
- Sustainable part or full time paid employment.
- Stock baked goods made by our trainees, like our partners Broccoli Revolution, Patom Organic Living, and Berkeley International School.
- Support us through your CSR activities – whether its through buying us equipment so we can open more stores, or spreading the word about us, we appreciate any help with our mission. You can also hold team away days at our training centre.

Our current partners say…
Working with Steps has made a huge improvement to RMA. By providing us with almost instant access to employee data at the touch of a keyboard, it’s an activity that we weren’t resourced to complete internally. The team at STEPS have expanded their experience and skills base into a new area of business services and have proven their competence through this exercise. We’re now exploring how we can expand this activity into other RMA business processes in partnership with STEPS. Read more about our partnership here.
“It has been a pleasure to work with Steps. Their work has made a noticeable difference. They take care of the customers folder for us which dates back to the 1990’s. We have found the work to be of a high quality and we are now looking at more ways we can work with Steps. It’s been such a win-win and we are happy to support Steps’ incredible mission while also benefiting from their services.”

We thought that working with Step’s trainees we were helping them… we were absolutely wrong! !!! Working with Steps has helped us instead, to develop the team spirit, to feel we are part of something bigger than ourselves, to be more comprehensive, find other ways to communicate, find the best of each individual and ultimately consider the obstacles as an opportunity to grow. Thank you Steps!!
