Kenya Power has announced industrial attachment opportunities for continuing students seeking practical work experience during the September to November 2026 intake.

In a notice on Monday, July 20, the company said the programme is part of the government’s commitment to youth empowerment by providing students with hands-on workplace experience.

“In line with the Government’s commitment to support youth empowerment, Kenya Power is offering exciting attachment opportunities to continuing students, to gain hands-on work experience and develop key employability skills,” the notice read in part.

According to Kenya Power, the attachment programme will run for a maximum of three months, from September through November 2026, with successful applicants expected to undertake the placement on a full-time basis.

The opportunities are open to students pursuing Bachelor’s Degree, Diploma and selected Craft Certificate programmes. 

For Bachelor’s Degree and Diploma students, both technical and non-technical courses are eligible. 

Craft Certificate opportunities are available to students pursuing Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Power Option), Mechanical/Automotive Engineering, Building and Civil Engineering, and Plumbing. 

However, Kenya Power noted that there are no attachment vacancies for Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-related courses in this intake.

To qualify, applicants must be continuing students enrolled in accredited learning institutions and pursuing the specified programmes. 

They must also be available full-time for the three-month attachment period, possess a valid introduction letter from their respective learning institution, and have valid personal accident insurance covering the entire attachment period.

Kenya Power has issued separate reference numbers for each category of applicants.
