Interns carry out duties agreed with and assigned by their supervisors, keep a record of the practical skills they gain in their area of deployment on Affordable Housing Programme and project marketing sites, and take an active part in mentorship activities and other programme responsibilities. On successful completion, interns receive a certificate from the State Department for Housing and Urban Development and are paid a stipend by the State Department at a rate determined by the Government; no specific stipend amount is stated in the advert. Applications must be submitted online through the Public Service Commission job portals at publicservice.go.ke or psckjobs.go.ke by 9 November 2026.
