Public Service Commission has appointed 8,610 candidates after conducting interviews for 16, 625 candidates who were eyeing internship slots advertised by the Commission under the sixth (6th) Cohort of the Public Service Internship Programme (PSIP).Â
The Commission used phone calls and physical interviews to evaluate the shortlisted candidates between 14th to 18th November in 2023.Â
PSC will be onboarding the largest number of interns under PSIP for the first time since the programme was inaugurated in 2019. This follows a directive by President William Ruto early this year, to increase the number of candidates joining the programme to benefit more young people graduating from universities.Â
From the advert made on 25th July 2023, the Commission received a total of 50,269 applications and only 16, 625 candidates made it to the interviews
The 8,610 successful candidates will be deployed in various Ministries, State Departments, Corporations and Public Universities early next year.
All the interns will be working under PSC trained mentors and coaches, tasked with nurturing and shaping their career growth.Â
This 6th Cohort will bring a total number of graduates who have benefitted from the programme to over 21,000 since the Commission started the Public Service Internship Programme five years ago.Â
