Internship Policy: NYSC Rejects HND Graduates At Orientation Camps

As the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp opened yesterday across the country, Polytechnic graduates with the Higher National Diploma (HND) without Industrial Training (IT) certification were sent back.

NYSC had introduced a new policy demanding IT certification for those seeking to fulfil their national service obligations and has halted the screening process for some HND graduates.

LEADERSHIP had earlier reported how the NYSC had announced that HND graduates must provide evidence of completing their one-year mandatory IT certificate before being registered in their respective camps

The policy mandates graduates of polytechnics and monotechnics who had been mobilised for Batch B Stream II provide evidence of the mandatory one-year Industrial Training (IT) as a requirement for participating in the camp.
