What is the Apprenticeship Scheme?
This is a programme that supports occupational training of young, talented school leavers by affording them the
opportunity to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge of a trade. The Apprenticeship scheme is a partnership
between the Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT) within the Ministry of Labour and Human Resource Development
and employers to support the supply of well-trained manpower to the Kenyan industry.
What are the Benefits of the Scheme?
The Apprenticeship Scheme supports bright Kenyan students especially those who may be facing financial constraints
to access industrial training. It affords them the opportunity to receive hands-on practical training within an industrial
environment, thereby preparing them to take on roles pertaining to their trade upon completing their training.
The Scheme supports the Company’s talent pipeline by building a pool of potential employees for shop-floor roles. All
the 8 former apprentices who successfully completed the apprenticeship programme during the period 2008 – 2011
have already been offered permanent roles in the factory.
The scheme also fits in with the Company’s Corporate Social Responsibility objective of giving back to the society in
which we operate.
Who are we looking for?
The Company is recruiting apprentices for the period 2012 – 2015. The successful candidates will be sponsored to
attend formal technical Diploma training as well as practical training on the trade within our factory during college
vacations.
We are looking for eligible candidates to undertake:
Mechanical Engineering Diploma (7)
Electrical Engineering Diploma (4)
Analytical Chemistry Diploma (2)
Applicants should meet the following criteria:

b) Aged 18 – 22 years
c) KCSE minimum aggregate C (plain) with C+ in Mathematics, English, Physics (or Physical Sciences), Chemistry
and Biology (for Analytical Chemistry diploma).
Preference will be given to candidates who can demonstrate that they are financially constrained.
The successful candidates will enter into a 4-year apprenticeship with the Company in accordance with the provisions
of the Industrial Training Act (Cap 237).
Please note that the Company is under no obligation to offer the apprentices jobs in the Company upon successful
completion of the training.
What Role Can You and I Play?

acquaintances etc to apply by November 15th 2011.
