We are engaged in the process of employing a new cohort of graduate interns. This cohort would have joined the department at the beginning of April 2020, but was delayed by the outbreak of COVID-19.
Our Head of Department has also approved that we support 390 of our student interns with a stipend during the 2020/2021 financial year. District offices have been requested to submit all relevant documentation for student interns who qualify to receive stipend.
The Department advertised for internship programme 2020-2022 to the Departmental website and the closing date was 13/03/2020. Shortlisting and Interviews processes were concluded by 26/03/2020. 240 Interns were appointed in 12 Districts and 100 in Head Office including with people with disabilities.
