The government of Kenya will today launch a presidential ICT programme called the Presidential Digital Talent Programme (PDTP). The event is scheduled to hold at the University of Nairobi and would be presided over by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Kenya’s Ministry of ICT initiated the PDTP in 2014 and the ICT Authority implemented the project through a private and public partnership arrangement.
The programme is one of the key initiatives and project spelt out in the ICT Masterplan and a key deliverable for the Jubilee government and the Vision 2030 Social and Economic strategic pillars. It will provide a training ground to fresh university graduates in readying them to be the industry leaders and experts in the future.
This Public Private Partnership Programme includes local companies, multinational and public sector players. The Internship programme targets qualified ICT graduates.
The interns in government will serve on a variety of roles. Its mission is to build the next generation of globally competitive ICT, leadership and technology talent that will transform Kenya through world-class service delivery to the citizenry.
