Public Service, Performance, and Delivery Management Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has announced a promising collaboration with the private sector aimed at providing valuable internship opportunities for numerous graduates.

The declaration followed a meeting with representatives from the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA), led by Executive Director Gloria Ndekei.

“The meeting discussed the Internship Programme Partnership that we will roll out soon between the government and the private sector,” Kuria said in a statement on Tuesday, January 30.

The Cabinet Secretary noted that each year, thousands of individuals apply for government internships, but the limited available slots in state agencies result in only a small fraction being accepted.
He disclosed that in the previous year, the government received 57,000 applications. However, only 8,000 candidates, constituting 14%, were successfully absorbed, leaving a significant number of qualified young Kenyans without internship opportunities.

The program targets all sectors across the country, including manufacturing, banking and insurance, telecommunication, retail, academia, and hospitality, among others.

The new deal is aimed at solving the employment crisis in the country amid reports of rising cases of graduates failing to secure internship opportunities to hone their skills.

In the recent past, President William Ruto has encouraged young professionals entering the job market to seek opportunities abroad even as he seeks to create employment locally through initiatives such as the housing program.

In November of the preceding year, the President pledged to pursue bilateral agreements with several Western nations, aiming to facilitate the export of a substantial labor force from Kenya.
