The recruitment exercise for the fourth cohort was advertised starting from August 3, 2021, with a list of shortlisted candidates being unveiled in November 2021.

The positions that were advertised varied from different departments, ministries, and agencies in the government.

Interns stand a chance of being absorbed into various ministries and departments after completion of their one year programme.

Successful candidates will perform mutually agreed upon duties including those assigned by the supervisors and document relevant skills acquired. They are also expected to take part in various mentorship programmes during that period.

PSIP is a government initiative to offer opportunities to graduates to acquire and develop technical and professional skills as well as work experience in the public service.
