Mombasa County Government will soon open the 2025/2026 Internship Application Form for eligible graduates looking to gain hands-on work experience in various county departments. This program offers a structured learning opportunity where interns will develop essential professional skills, build networks, and contribute to the county’s service delivery objectives.
Overview
The Mombasa County Internship Programme designed to prepare recent graduates for the labour market. The program will place interns in various county offices, departments, and projects, where they will actively participate in day-to-day operations, implement policies, and engage in public administration.
The county recognizes the importance of practical training in shaping competent professionals. Therefore, the internship aims to:
- Bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical work experience.
- Enhance employability by equipping participants with in-demand workplace skills.
- Support various county projects with fresh ideas and innovative solutions from young minds.
Past beneficiaries of the program have secured employment in both public and private sectors due to the work experience gained during their internship period.
