Funds for your interns
The Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) and the Kenya Youth Empowerment Project (KYEP) are looking for companies to participate in a government sponsored youth internship program.
KYEP will train young people with finance, IT, business and life skills and will then place them in companies for workplace experience. The interns will be paid by KYEP and the companies will receive an appreciation fee of Ksh 3,000 per intern per month.
This program aims to raise the employability of young Kenyans by ensuring they have the right skills and experience.
