The intakes
Kenya Power's careers page lists attachment intakes for January to March, May to July and September to November. Each runs for a maximum of three months.
Who could apply for September to November 2026
- Bachelor's degree students, in technical and non-technical courses.
- Diploma students, in technical and non-technical courses.
- Craft certificate students in electrical and electronics engineering (power option), mechanical or automotive engineering, building and civil engineering, and plumbing.

- Be a continuing student at an accredited institution.
- Have a valid introduction letter from your institution.
- Have valid personal accident insurance cover for the whole attachment.
