Getting attachment in is becoming extremely hard for students, especially fourth years. Sometimes it requires one to know somebody in order to get one, and if you aren’t familiar with Nairobi you will hate yourself.
The competition for internships has increased tremendously since parallel program started being adopted in local universities. We now have more job seekers than employers.
Perhaps you aren’t aware which companies don’t offer attachments. Some of the places which don’t give students internships include Central Bank of Kenya and local Banks. These institutions fear that interns could expose some of the crucial information to the public. They better employ someone than give them internship.
