Four hundred students will later this month start a one-year internship at various government institutions and private firms under the Presidential Digital Talent Programme (PDTP).
This is the second lot of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and engineering students to be recruited by the PDTP or Digitalent programme.
It is being implemented through a Private Public Partnership collaboration with the ICT Authority being the implementing agency. The interns will undergo a one-week induction, two months internship in private sector and nine months internship in government (including counties).
Victor Kyalo, the Principal Secretary ICT and Innovation at Ministry of ICT, said the programme will address ICT gaps in both public and private sectors.
“This programme is designed to build ICT capacity in government to ensure ICT effectiveness and efficiency in public service delivery,” he said during a breakfast meeting of Digitalent partners.
