An intern is an individual; usually a student who joins the organization to practice skills learnt
and gain experience in their field through on-the-job training or job shadowing.
The following rules shall apply to individuals on internship at the KYC:
- A student seeking to conduct internship/attachment at the KYC will apply to do so to the
KYC Manager. Such an application will be supported by a letter of introduction from the
respective institution. The KYC will only recognize letters from accredited institutions
that are dully registered with the government.
- The KYC Manager will upon consulting the BOG and ascertaining that the skills profile of
the applicant match the organizations skills requirements and that relevant human
resource processes have been obliged grant the application.
- Upon joining the organization, all interns will discharge duties as assigned to them under
the supervision of the immediate supervisor in any program area that the organization
deems fit to assign them. The KYC Manager either in person or through delegated
authority will have the express authority to assign duties to an intern commensurate
with their level of expertise and set targets for them.
- All interns will be expected to conduct themselves with discipline and abide by the KYC
rules and regulation during their internship with the organization. In addition, they will
be expected to portray a positive image of the youth centre to the community during
their internship period.
- The period of internship should not exceed 3 months. Any extension of that period will
not be considered as part of the internship period.
- Interns will not be entitled to salaries and other benefits but will be expected to meet
their own expenses. However, interns will under special circumstances be provided with
some allowance (transport and lunch allowance) as may be necessary to enable delivery of duties
assigned to them. Interns will also be entitled to a recommendation letter
drawn by the KYC Manager after completion of their internship period.

organization reserves the right to limit their access to organizational information
considered confidential (such as financial records, client medical records)

outlined in the human resource manual. The organization reserves the right to without
