Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama appreciates young, motivated and hard-working people. He even once rated his interns higher than the professional civil servants working in the Jakarta Provincial Government.

And now, Ahok is calling on more motivated young people to join him in running the city for a 4-month long internship at City Hall.

Motivation is key here – like in previous internships with Ahok, this is not one where all you’d do is sit around until your boss orders you to buy ketoprak from the opposite street. The interns would actually be heavily involved in the implementation and monitoring of city programs that have direct impacts on the lives of around 10 million people.

Interestingly, this internship program is not exclusive to students – Ahok is also urging young professionals who are willing to try something new to take a temporary leave of absence from their jobs for the internship.

Interested? Application is open from March 1st to March 19th. The program itself will run from May 2nd to August 10th. Check out Ahok.org for more information on how to apply.
