The Federal Government has vowed to continue the Graduate Internship Scheme as part of efforts to reduce the rate of unemployment in the country.
Project Director, GIS, Mr. Peter Papka, gave this reassurance on Friday at a Career Development and Entrepreneurship training for 2015 batch of the interns in Uyo.
Papka who was represented by the agency’s Chief Operation Officer, Mr. Kefas Hosea, said “I wish to reaffirm government’s commitment to this unique scheme. It is one of the many success stories of government’s effort to reduce graduate unemployment.
“It is pertinent to let you know that many graduates are well-prepared for this experience: this is because there are many that have proved themselves worthy and have already been employed. Others have yet to establish their own businesses, they have secured financial facilities and have moved on.”
He added that the SURE-P has no effect on the Graduate Internship Scheme.
