Young female graduates invited to apply to the Girls on the Move Internship Programme
This is a call for applications to the Girls on the Move internship programme for outstanding young female supply chain graduates in Kisumu, Kenya. The pilot programme is a bold new venture that will open the world of supply chain management to girls in Kenya and beyond.
Health and humanitarian supply chains need a diverse workforce that understands and caters for the complex needs and aspirations of everyone, regardless of their gender. Today, there is an urgent need to increase the number of women in logistics so that women’s needs are better served. The Girls on the Move programme will introduce 30 young women to career opportunities in the supply chain sector in Kenya.
Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition (RHSC), and Pamela Steele Associates (PSA) will implement a 12-month pilot programme in Kisumu, Kenya. The programmewill undertake the following:
- Design an internship/work placement program for recent female graduates
- Equip programme participants with the skills and training needed for successful work placement
- Frame an initiative to scale up the Girls on the Move programme model into other Kenyan counties and possibly other countries.
Participants will receive an eight-month placement in public- or private-sector agencies, such as aid organisations, commercial airlines, logistics companies, banks, and hospitals.
