About Industrial Attachment

Work-integrated learning for Kenyan students

Industrial attachment is an important component of education and training which provides students with real practical work experience in their areas of specialisation as a course requirement in most training institutions.

Objectives

The objective of industrial attachment is mainly to link industry and training institutions for placement of students at the workplace for acquisition of practical skills and appropriate work ethics before entering the labour market.

Application for Industrial Attachment

The Government recognises the importance of offering students industrial attachment. As a result, the government established the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) to provide industrial attachment. The institution links industry and training institutions for placement of students at the workplace for acquisition of practical skills.

Apart from NITA, other institutions such as Ministries within both National and County Governments and other private organisations and companies also offer industrial attachment opportunities.
