There have been calls for the Public Service Commission to absorb the interns under its Public Service Internship Programme into government agencies and departments they were deployed in. PSC data shows close to 3,200 workers are set to exit the public service this year because of retirement and other reasons. This can only happen when competent youths with skills matching the jobs advertised are employed to give public service a facelift. There is no doubt the quality of professional skills and experience gained by the interns are impressive. The TSC has given its 10,000 interns an advantageous 10 points in employing new teachers, the PSC can do the same.
