Tuskys to enroll youth in internship programme

Tuskys has unveiled an ambitious six-month internship programme that will see 1,500 youths across the country equipped with the skills to work in a supermarket every year.

The Sh150 million programme will run for the next five years and will see 7,500 mid-level college graduates trained in a first-of-its-kind initiative in Kenya’s retail sector. After graduating, between 50 and 60 per cent of the trainees will be absorbed by the retailer as permanent employees while the rest are expected to be hired by other supermarkets.
