Kakamega County Attachment and Internship Policy 2016

Abstract

Attachment/Internship programme is a vital componeqt of training. It provides youth and other trainees with opportunities to acquire, sharpen and thð€‘¦ir practical skills to complement their studies. The Kenya Government has put in place measures to strengthen youth employment and entrepð€‘§eneurship through credit financial assistance and training. However, the youth are unable to take advantage of these opportunities because they lack vocational and entrepreneurial skills. To bridge this gap the Government is committed to developing, promoting and strengthening attachment/internship for youth graduating from training institutions to enable them acquire experience in a real work situation. The Public Service has a responsibility to take the lead in creating attachment/internship opportunities for the youth. Towards this end, County Public Service Board, through this document, establishes policies and guidelines for regulating the·tpanagement of internships and attachments, in line with Section 74 of the County Governments Act. This will also give the internees/attachees an opportunity to understand·tJ1e struyture functioning of the Public Service.
