"At the moment we will have expenses with the direct support of the internships little more than 1.6 billion kwanzas", said the official, quoted by Rádio Nacional de Angola (RNA).
Pedro Filipe also made it known that they are "directly funding these internships" and that from now on they will also "pay the mentors of the internships".
The official was speaking as part of the signing of a partnership agreement between the National Institute for Employment and Vocational Training (Inefop) and Sonils for the realization of paid professional internships.
According to Angop, the objective of this partnership is to improve the entry of recent graduates into the job market, simplify the entry of staff into companies, among other aspects.
Thus, in a first stage, 30 young people from the country's 18 provinces will benefit from internships at Sonils, as part of the Action Plan for the Promotion of Employability.
