EABL internships and Diageo graduate programmes: how to apply from Kenya
Where EABL's openings are posted, who qualifies for Diageo's graduate schemes, the stages from CV to video interview, and the rules on reapplying.
East African Breweries is part of Diageo, and its internship and graduate openings run through Diageo's careers system rather than a separate EABL site. That is why searches for an EABL internship often end on Diageo's pages. Here is how the system works, taken from Diageo's own guidance.
Where EABL openings are posted
EABL vacancies in Nairobi appear on Diageo's careers portal, for example an IT Service Delivery Lead role that was open in November 2026. Graduate schemes are listed on Diageo's early careers pages, where you can filter by graduate positions and by location to see what is open in Kenya.
Diageo says the location of its graduate programmes varies from year to year, and that it recruits on a rolling basis, viewing applications as they come in. Apply as soon as a scheme opens.
Who qualifies for the graduate schemes
- An academic degree obtained or expected.
- Fluency in English, and in the language of the market you apply to.
- The right to work in that market.
- For some roles, a full, clean driving licence.
Diageo notes that requirements can vary by location and role, so read the job description when applications open.
The stages
- CV: name, contact details and LinkedIn link only as personal information, tailored to the scheme, no longer than two pages.
- Cover letter: optional, but Diageo describes it as a nice addition that shows motivation.
- Short application form to check eligibility.
- Video assessment on HireVue, about thirty minutes of recorded answers to set questions.
Choose one scheme and use the feedback
Diageo recommends applying for only one graduate scheme. If you are not successful, you wait twelve months before applying again, and unsuccessful applicants receive feedback. Use that year to fix what the feedback points to.
No real programme charges you to apply, to be shortlisted or to be placed. If someone asks for money for a place, it is a scam.
