These are hard times to be a Kenyan. No work after graduation but the government is on your neck to pay HELB loans on time or they will take you to CRB, one of the most feared organizations in the country formed to put the poor in their place.
Things get worse when you see President Uhuru Kenyatta appointing political rejects, who should be enjoying their ill-gotten wealth in peace, to plum government jobs to steal more from the public. When will the youth get a chance?
Anything trickling down to the youth is considered big, and the politicians want us to sing praises for them. Uasin Gishu governor Jackson Mandago therefor deserves to be praised for creating 700 jobs for youth without experience.
The governor announced on Tuesday that his government will hire graduates, Diploma Holders and youths with certificates for a 12-month paid internship. The county will provide a monthly stipend of Sh13,500 for Degree holders, Sh11,500 for Diploma graduates, and Sh8,500 for Certificate holders.
“As I promised during my re-election campaign, my administration will mentor young people through work-based training and prepare them for job market or self-employment. I am upbeat that after finishing their internships will be absorbed at the local and international job markets.” Mandago said through a post on his Social Media pages.
All you need is a certificate of good conduct and your academic papers to be considered for these opportunity. And because we are going digital, interested people should visit the county website to apply: https://jobs.uasingishu.go.ke/internship
Those interested should apply on or before 27th May 2019.
The county will provide a monthly stipend of Sh13,500 for Degree holders, Sh11,500 for Diploma graduates, and Sh8,500 for Certificate holders.
Mandago noted that the experience acquired from the internship will help graduates kick start their careers in various industries.
