Internship Vacancies at the Nakuru County Assembly Service Board 2025
The Nakuru County Assembly Service Board (NCASB) has announced the launch of its 2025 Internship Program, an initiative designed to nurture young professionals by providing them with practical experience, professional mentorship, and workplace exposure within the county legislative environment. The program seeks to bridge the gap between academic learning and professional practice by equipping recent graduates with the skills, experience, and confidence needed to succeed in Kenya’s evolving public service landscape.
Through this internship, participants will gain first-hand insight into how a county assembly operates—its legislative processes, administrative functions, research systems, and support divisions that facilitate the smooth running of county governance.

This initiative aligns with the Board’s mandate to promote institutional efficiency, foster transparency, and build capacity among young graduates. Interns will work under the supervision of experienced professionals who will guide them in translating theoretical knowledge into practical outcomes. The structured internship is also intended to develop participants’ professional ethics, work discipline, and adaptability within a dynamic institutional setup.
