DHL is organizing a fellowship program that will link SMEs from the developing world with postgraduate business students. According to the company, it aims to help small businesses benefit from the venture-building knowledge that persons formally trained in business have to share. It also wants such persons to gain practical experience engaging and advising actual enterprises.
