The Prime Minister of Georgia has announced at today’s Government meeting that the implementation of the law on paid internships for young people will commence in pilot mode this year [2024].

“At least 2 - 3 thousand university graduates will have the opportunity to undergo paid internships in state structures for a minimum of 4 months.

Additionally, the government aims to collaborate with municipalities and the private sector to provide young people with opportunities for paid internships in various sectors.

I request the Minister of Education, in collaboration with the Minister of Finance, to provide a comprehensive plan for the upcoming government session.

This plan should outline paid internship opportunities for young graduates, encompassing positions within governmental bodies, municipalities, and fostering collaboration with the private sector”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
