The Kenyan Government announces plans to significantly expand the Public Service Internship Programme, increasing the number of positions from 8,000 to 50,000. This expansion, set to commence in January 2027, aims to provide more young people with the chance to apply their academic knowledge in real-world settings. The initiative aligns with a Presidential Directive to generate more opportunities for young Kenyans to develop essential skills and enhance their employability.
Felix Koskei, Head of Public Service Felix Koskei, emphasized the importance of these placements, stating that they offer young people the opportunity to work with experienced public officers, learn from mentors, and contribute to the nation's development. By participating in these internships, young Kenyans can bolster their resumes, acquire valuable work experience, and potentially launch their own enterprises, all in pursuit of the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda.
The meeting also focused on improving human resource management and accountability within the Public Service, with the goal of delivering timely and efficient services to the public.
