According to a public notice issued on June 3, 2025, by PSC CEO Paul Famba, the internship will run for 12 months and will not be renewable.

“Successful candidates will be appointed and deployed to schools at the Sub-County level, where they will gain hands-on experience and support virtual learning and other digital platforms,” said Famba.

To qualify, applicants must have graduated no earlier than 2020 and hold either a Bachelor’s degree in Education with a specialization in ICT, a Bachelor’s degree in ICT, or a Diploma in ICT or ICT Integration in Education from a recognized institution.
