The county government launched the programme in 2017 after formulating the Internship Policy in September 2017.
During the launch, Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga described youth unemployment is a ticking a time bomb, adding that it was the motivation for the county government to start the initiative.
Governor Kahiga stated that he would partner with big companies doing business in Nyeri to provide more internship opportunities for graduates from the county.
Further, he stated that besides bringing resources to the county, companies should impart knowledge and experience to fresh graduates.
“The programme seeks to eradicate unemployment through provision of skills and experiences for fresh graduates so as to make them prepared to take up responsibilities in the competitive labour market,” stated the Governor.
Degree holders receive Kes12, 000 monthly stipends, diploma holders get Kes11 000 while certificate holders take home Kes10, 000.
