PSC announces internship recruitment for gov’t ministries and departments; How to apply

The Public Service Commission (PSC) has announced the recruitment of interns under the Public Service Internship Programme (PSIP) for the 2026/27 financial year.

In a notice on Tuesday, July 28, PSC said the internship falls under Cohort 9 of the PSIP, a government youth empowerment programme designed to equip college graduates with hands-on experience while enhancing their employability, professional networks and entrepreneurial skills.

“The year-long internship programme will mainly involve attachment in Ministries, Departments, State Agencies/Corporations and Public Universities,” the notice read in part.

To qualify for appointment, applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognized university, and have graduated in 2020 or later.

They must also be proficient in computer skills and must not have previously benefited from a similar internship programme.

Successful applicants will be expected to undertake duties assigned by their supervisors throughout the internship in government ministries, departments, state agencies, corporations and public universities.

According to PSC, their responsibilities will include completing duties mutually agreed upon and assigned by supervisors, and documenting relevant skills acquired in their areas of deployment.
