ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

Our Graduate Trainee Programme is aimed at identifying graduates with potential and skills, and offering them hands on experience within the workplace.In order to sustain our talent pool, we aim to attract and retain recent graduates with the potential to continually develop, grow them professionally and sustain a high level of performance that will contribute to the growth of Telkom Kenya.

For a period of between 6 months to 1 year, the graduates are guided in solving real business challenges by mentors sourced from various departments within the Technology Division.

Selection process
The selection process is in three phases. These include the following:

• Sourcing for CVs: CVs are sourced from across all major universities and the criterion chosen is preference of fresh graduates with a bias to those who pursued Computer Science,Business in Information Technology (BBIT), Information Technology, (I.T), Telecommunications and Engineering.
• First Interview: Shortlisted candidates are taken through a written assessment which seeks to test their technical know-how on Technology Basics. The successful ones proceed to the next phase.
• Second interviews (face-to-face):  The successful candidates from the written assessment tests proceed to a face-to-face interview where the top ten successful candidates are taken into the programme.

REWARD SYSTEM

At the end of the six months, the Trainees are required to present an individual project which is used to assess their learning agility. If successful, the trainee(s) are then absorbed into the company within the different sections in the Technology Division.
