The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has rolled out a fresh set of internship opportunities targeting unemployed graduate teachers across Kenya. A total of 30 internship positions are now open, as part of the Commission’s continued efforts to ease teacher shortages and offer young professionals a platform to gain hands-on experience in real classroom settings.
This move is not just a stopgap; it’s a strategic intervention. With thousands of trained teachers unable to secure permanent positions, TSC’s internship programme has emerged as a critical gateway into the public education system—one that many young educators now view as their best shot at long-term employment.
According to the TSC circular, the 30 internship vacancies are distributed across various secondary schools in need of teaching staff. The programme will run for a period of one year, during which successful applicants will receive a monthly stipend, currently pegged at KES 20,000 for secondary school interns.
Interns will be assigned teaching responsibilities in line with their area of specialization, and expected to perform duties similar to those of employed teachers—planning lessons, managing classrooms, marking exams, and attending school events. The only difference? They’ll be working under supervision and using the experience as a springboard toward full registration and employment.
To qualify, candidates must meet the following basic criteria:
1.Hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education or a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE).
2.Be registered or awaiting registration with the Teachers Service Commission.
3.Be currently unemployed and not previously engaged under any TSC internship programme.
4.Be willing to be deployed to any public school within the country.
The Commission has emphasized the importance of flexibility and availability, as some of the postings may be in rural or hardship areas where the teacher shortage is more pronounced.
With the growing student population under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) and 100% transition policy from primary to secondary school, the demand for teachers continues to soar. Yet the employment rate for newly trained educators remains alarmingly low.
This internship programme offers dual benefits:
1.It helps schools temporarily plug staffing gaps.
2.It gives young graduates a chance to prove their skills and gain professional confidence.
Since its launch, the internship initiative has been credited with boosting classroom outcomes and improving the employability of participants—many of whom later land permanent roles through TSC's regular recruitment drives.
Interested candidates must apply through the official TSC online portal. Applicants will be required to upload:
1.Academic and professional certificates
2.National ID or passport
3.TSC registration certificate or evidence of application
4.A recent passport-sized photo
5.Updated CV
The deadline for applications will be announced in due course, though TSC has advised early submission due to the competitive nature of the slots.
While the pay may be modest and the workload demanding, most participants see the internship as an investment in their future. Besides earning a stipend and gaining work experience, interns are often given preference in future permanent employment under the Commission. For many, it’s not just an internship—it’s a strategic career move.
TSC’s announcement of 30 graduate internship slots signals hope for jobless teachers who’ve long waited for a break. As the pressure mounts on the education system to accommodate growing student numbers and improve quality, integrating young talent through internships is a step in the right direction.
It’s not the ultimate fix—but for many, it’s the long-awaited first step
