Limpopo Provincial Government bids farewell and welcomes interns
Yesterday, 31 March was the last day of government financial year and the last day of groups of interns which were employed at various government departments within Limpopo Provincial Administration. The interns completed their 12 months programme which is aimed at imparting work experience to graduates from institutions of high learning. There are more than 500 youth on internship programme for the 2015/2016 financial year in all Limpopo departments.
As the Provincial Government, we embrace the issues of youth empowerment and reduction of youth unemployment. We would like to thank the youth who have completed their internship programme in various fields of learning and their commitment, dedication towards public service. Others have found permanent work while others are still seeking. Those still searching are encouraged to register at the Department of Labour database. As the Provincial Government, we wish them well in their future endeavor. Their contributions towards the realization of a better live for all and delivery of quality services to the people of Limpopo is appreciated.
Today marks the opening of a new chapter of a government financial year. We also welcome a group of interns whom will be starting their programme on this day, 1st April 2016. We wish them well in their respective fields of learning and encourage them to use this opportunity to understand the operation of public service. This programme is important in preparing them for permanent work opportunities.
The intake of youth to internship is a respond to National Development Plan vision 2030 in addressing their empowerment within the sphere of government.
The Public Service is faced with personnel who are on the verge of retirement period. Those trained on this programme stand a chance to fill in the gaps which will be left by those retiring from public service.
