The Ministry of the Interior has announced a new Youth Internship Scheme aimed at enhancing employability among young Ghanaians while supporting the country’s security agencies.
The scheme, developed in partnership with the Ministry of Youth Development, will deploy interns to key security institutions, including the Ghana Police Service, Prisons Service, and Fire Service.
“We have signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Youth Development for security agencies internship, enhancing youth employability,” Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak said.
The programme is designed to provide practical experience to young people, bridging the gap between academic education and employment opportunities.
The first batch of interns is set to commence on July 16. According to the Minister, the initiative will equip young Ghanaians with critical workplace skills and bolster the capacity of security agencies by supplementing their manpower needs.
The government believes the programme will contribute to addressing youth unemployment while fostering a deeper understanding of national security operations among the younger generation.
