The PSC said successful applicants will carry out duties assigned by their supervisors and mutually agreed upon. They will also be required to document the skills acquired in their respective areas of deployment.
The interns will work at Affordable Housing Programme project sites across the country and participate in mentorship activities designed to strengthen their professional development.
The internship will run for 12 months and will not be renewable. Participants will receive a stipend from the State Department for Housing and Urban Development at a rate determined by the government.
“On successful completion of the Internship Programme, the interns will be awarded a certificate by the State Department for Housing and Urban Development,” the PSC said.
