A majority of 3,000 applicants seeking for internship vacancies at Tuskys Supermarkets are masters ad bachelor’s degree holders. This was revealed by the retail chain yesterday.
Tuskys had advertised for 800 internship vacancies with the successful applicants expected to be deployed across the supermarket’s 54 branches to serve mainly as general workers, cashiers, and bakery workers.
The internship programme which targets 1,600 is being undertaken in partnership with KCB Foundation. The bank will recruit another 800 interns who will then be seconded to Tuskys for the training.
Shortlisting for those who have applied is currently ongoing with interviews set to follow.
“The shortlisted candidates will be expected to undergo interviews because we want to test competency in all aspects including communication and presentation skills,” said Tuskys Human Resources manager Lucy Watari.
The training takes six months with those who qualify expected to start this month.
The partnership between the two companies also targets 13,000 youths in 22 counties for contract farming opportunities in agribusiness.
