2020 TSC INTERNSHIP
Teacher Internship is a short-term program that lasts one year, 12 months that support the efforts being undertaken by teacher training institutions to equip and sustain the competencies of fresh graduates entering the teaching profession.

Interested candidates who meet the minimum qualifications should apply online through the TSC Website www.tsc.go.ke under Careers or via www.teachersonline.go.ke.

This is good news especially for qualified and interested candidates who missed out on the recently concluded TSC recruitment for over 11, 500 teaching posts on permanent and pensionable terms.
