President William Ruto has called for stronger government and private sector partnerships to create a permanent pathway for young Kenyans transitioning from higher learning institutions into the labour market.
Speaking during the launch of the Next Generation Youth Employment Programme (NextGen.KE) at State House, Nairobi, President Ruto said internships must move beyond temporary interventions and become a structured part of the journey from education to employment.
The President said he had requested the withdrawal of the Public Service Internship Bill, 2022 (National Assembly Bill No. 63 of 2022) from Parliament to allow for improvements that would establish a stronger legal framework for internships.
