Dismayed at the high level of rejection of graduate interns by organizations in the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P), the Federal government of Nigeria has made systematic changes to make organizations change their mind, Daily Independent reports.
Speaking at a fair in Owerri, Project Director of the Graduate Internship Scheme (GIS), an arm of SURE-P, MR Peter Papka said the scheme "made system changes to the portal, allowing firms and interns more choice in accepting to work with each other. Another solution to the problem is to bring the firm and graduates face to face so that such decision can be made on the spot and as many firms and graduates can be matched as possible.”
On the graduate internship opportunities fair, he affirmed that it is the first of its kind in Nigeria and has provided a platform for the reduction of vulnerability among unemployed Nigerian graduates.
“Internship from our experience provides soft landing for many such graduates in finding direction for their lives either through jobs or entrepreneurship. It is our hope that this practice will be sustained as a veritable unemployment reduction tool,” he added.
