“I request the Minister of Education, in collaboration with the Minister of Finance, to provide a comprehensive plan for the upcoming government session. This plan should outline paid internship opportunities for young graduates, encompassing positions within governmental bodies and municipalities and fostering collaboration with the private sector,” stated Irakli Kobakhidze.
