The Kenyatta administration has said that it will offer tax
rebates to companies that offer internships to young Kenyan graduates that are
just out of university. So, which are the Kenyan companies to intern at? Here
are five of the best.
1. Bamburi
Want to get lots of experience plus a little pocket money on
the side? Then Bamburi is no doubt the place to be. It also encourages female
interns to apply, especially in the technical and engineering fields.
2. Google.
Google is known to offer generous monthly stipends, plus you
get to go to work in jeans and T-shirts,
possibly even have your smartphones and earphones on as you work.

3. KPMG/ PWC/
Deloitte/ Ernst&Young.
The so called ‘big four accountancy firms’ will offer great skills
and learning for anyone that wants to enter the general management field, or
more specifically, the auditing world. What’s more, you get to put your foot in
the door, as you would likely be a step ahead when applying for the annual graduate
recruitment programs that the universities conduct.
4. UN/ World Vision/
Red Cross
Event though you may not be paid highly, it is likely that
the ‘volunteering skills’ gained in such NGOs will be appreciated by many
employers. Besides, you get a chance to travel to grassroots ‘mashinani’, and
really be able to solve people’s problems, thus building your leadership
skills. The contacts gained could be invaluable.
5. Media Companies.
Top jobs in the media are rarely ever advertised. It’s
either by recommendation, or by apprenticeship, i.e sitting down with a co-host/anchor
who will introduce you to the fans and audience, thus building your brand
slowly over time, and eventually taking ver whne your time comes.
