This document discusses the UK Q-Step Initiative, which aims to increase quantitative skills training for students. It provides examples of three students who participated in summer internships through the program. Marcus interned at a social and political think-tank, Victoria at the Home Office Crime and Policy Unit, and Anna at a social and political data consultancy. All three found the internships extremely valuable, giving them experience and confidence in their quantitative skills. The internships helped lead directly to job offers for Victoria and inspired other students to consider quantitative dissertations and further study in research methods.
