800 youth to benefit from Tuskys Supermarket internship program

Tuskys Supermarket is offering internship for 800 youths in the quest to transform lives and communities between June and September.

Dan Githua, CEO Tuskys in statement he said they share the success they have had with their customers for the last 26 years and it was prudent to invest in the people.

“We believe that investing in people is investing in our country’s future. Please join us in creating this future by logging onto www.tustkys.com and nominating 2 people for our internship program which we are running jointly with KCB.”

KCB Foundation will invest in the training and upskilling of the 13,000 youths through established agricultural institutions.

Tuskys will on the other hand provide market for the farm produce in its 54 stores, making it one of the most fulfilling contract farming initiatives.

The identified agri-produce include poultry products, milk, sweet potatoes, vegetables, beef, and honey, among others.

This is part of the Chain’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiative that has so far transformed lives of over 700 interns, 90 per cent of which are now working in its 54 branches countrywide.

The new model of making applications will give equal opportunity to Tuskys’ over 1 million Loyalty customers across the country to be part of the process. It will also ensure that even those youths in far-flung areas get a chance to be trained and linked up to the market given that application is through an online portal.
