Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) has opened applications for its 2026 industrial attachment programme, offering continuing students an opportunity to gain practical workplace experience as part of the government’s broader efforts to promote youth empowerment and enhance employability.
In a notice, the utility company said the attachment programme will run for a maximum of three months, from September to November 2026, and is designed to equip students with hands-on skills and exposure to professional work environments across various departments.
“In line with the Government’s commitment to support youth empowerment, Kenya Power is offering exciting attachment opportunities to continuing students, to gain hands-on work experience and develop key employability skills,” the notice reads in part.
The opportunities are open to students pursuing Degree, Diploma and select Craft Certificate programmes at accredited learning institutions across the country.
“There are no vacancies for Information & Communication Technology (ICT)related courses for this intake,” the notice adds.
To qualify, applicants must be continuing students who will be available on a full-time basis throughout the attachment period.
They are also required to present a valid introduction letter from their respective learning institutions and maintain a valid personal accident insurance cover for the entire duration of the programme.
The company has issued separate application references for each category of applicants. Undergraduate students are required to apply using Reference No. KP1/ATTGRAD/26/3, while Diploma students are required to use KP1/ATTDIP/26/3.
Students pursuing Craft Certificates in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Power Option) or Mechanical/Automotive Engineering should quote Reference No. KP1/ATTCERT/26/3.

The application window will close on Monday, July 27, 2026.
Kenya Power said only shortlisted candidates will be contacted, warning that any form of canvassing will result in automatic disqualification.
