NCCK spearheading youth transformation
The NCCK internship programme is continuing to transform the lives of young graduates into effective and efficient workers, as was attested to by the 2023-24 cohort during their mid-term review session.
The 31 interns, who are placed in different departments and units within the NCCK, noted that the programme is pivotal to their smooth transition into the job market, with the knowledge gained providing them with vital insights for long-term character, career and spiritual success.
The mid-term review entailed a 1-week refresher training, coming 6 months into their internship period. It accorded them a chance to share experiences and check whether they are gaining the experience desired.
“This internship programme has so far met our aspirations to obtaining knowledge and becoming competent in our future work stations,” Moses Obala commented.
Conducted at the Fellowship of Christian Unions (FOCUS) Kenya, the mid-term review incorporated training designed to enhance the interns’ continuous development, improve their level of self-awareness, and reinforce their capacity to work effectively.
“This mid-term review has been enriching, we’ve not only had a chance to reflect on how the past six months of our internship have been but also gained vital insights on how to transition once our internship lapses,” said Ufungamano’s Maryane Wangechi.
The NCCK’s internship programme onboards fresh graduates who are then given placements in either the Council’s programmes, Ufungamano House, or Jumuia Resorts for on the job apprenticeship.
The internship programme is part of NCCK’s leadership and capacity-building component of its five-year youth program dubbed Wholesome Youth for a Wholesome Society, with the current cohort being the second cohort since the launch of the program in August 2021.
