Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said the proposed internship programme for graduates will be launched this year.
Formally inaugurating the ‘Industry on Campus’ initiative facilitated by the Additional Skill Acquisition Programme (ASAP) Kerala in polytechnics virtually on Monday, Mr. Vijayan said the internship programme would serve to ease graduates into the job sector and prevent them from facing an uncertainty rife among educated youths nowadays.
While the government will provide a share of ₹5,000 towards stipend, the chosen company will have to provide an equal or greater share for the intern, he said.
