Kenya Revenue Authority – Industrial Attachment Opportunities (October to December 2025 Intake)
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has announced the commencement of applications for its October to December 2025 Industrial Attachment Programme. This initiative is part of the Government’s Youth Programme aimed at nurturing a pool of skilled and work-ready young professionals for the Kenyan labour market.
The programme targets continuing undergraduate students in their 3rd, 4th, and final year of study, as well as diploma students in their final year. It is designed to offer practical exposure in line with the students’ academic disciplines, enabling them to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and workplace application.
Through this three-month attachment period, participants will gain valuable skills, enhance their professional competencies, and improve their readiness for future employment opportunities. KRA invites applications from qualified students across a broad range of disciplines within its support service departments.
Programme Overview
The KRA Industrial Attachment Programme is an opportunity for continuing students to gain workplace exposure, hands-on experience, and professional mentorship from seasoned experts in their respective fields. The October to December 2025 intake will run for a continuous three-month period, during which successful candidates will be deployed to various departments within the Authority.
The programme has been tailored to provide experiential learning, encourage professional growth, and ensure students meet the practical training requirements set by their academic institutions.
