Kericho County Internship Policy 2022

Abstract

This policy provides guidelines for engagement and management of internship programmes in the County Public Service. It outlines the various provisions and requirements of the programme, selection procedures and roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders in the internship programme. Further, it takes cognizance of the various legal and policy provisions on which the internship policy is based. The development of this policy underscores the Board’s commitment to provide guidelines to ensure that internship programmes are handled on the basis of set standards, values and principles. Implementation of this policy will therefore contribute to effective management of internship programmes and enhance skills transfer to the interns undergoing such programmes in the public sector. This policy draws from the relevant provisions of the constitution, labour laws, international statutes, executive directives and other policy guidelines in the County Public Service. A monitoring and evaluation mechanism has been proposed for purposes of enhancing effective implementation and ensuring that lessons learnt are brought on board.
