This initiative offers students one month of practical, on-the-job experience by placing them in various line agencies across the Public Service. Eligible participants include university, tertiary-level, and Fifth Form secondary school students.

To better accommodate participants, students will be divided into two groups:

  • A copy of their school identification card
