The advertisement targets graduates in engineering, construction, architecture, land management and other specialised fields.
The Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development, through the State Department for Housing and Urban Development, said the 12-month programme seeks to equip young professionals with relevant skills and expose them to real-world work environments.
The initiative also aims to strengthen their capacity to contribute to the implementation of the Affordable Housing Programme and the country's broader socio-economic development agenda.

The placements will be available at Affordable Housing Programme and marketing project sites across the country.
The internship will run for 12 months and will be non-renewable. Successful applicants will receive a stipend at a rate determined by the government and be awarded certificates upon completion.
