Why Smart Companies in Kenya Are Turning Internships Into a Competitive Advantage

Every year, thousands of Kenyan students graduate full of energy, ideas, and ambition. And yet, a painful truth remains: 67% of them struggle to find meaningful opportunities.

For students, this is discouraging. For companies, this is gold waiting to be mined.


Why Companies Should Care

Think about it. The students looking for internships today are not just potential employees; they are also your future customers, clients, and brand ambassadors. Companies that give them a chance don’t just fill a short-term gap; they build long-term loyalty.


Internships are more than corporate social responsibility. They are smart business.

  • You get fresh energy and ideas from young minds.
  • You shape talent that understands your business from the inside.
  • You build brand love among a generation that will drive Kenya’s economy tomorrow.

MyResource Makes It Easy

Traditionally, running internships can feel messy—emails, CV piles, endless coordination. That’s where MyResource changes the game.


With MyResource, companies can:

  • Manage graduate and mid-career hiring in one integrated platform.
  • Cut recruitment costs by digitizing everything—interviews, seminar attendance, even agency management.
  • Track and communicate with students in real-time.

And here’s the best part: the News Function.

Imagine posting directly inside the student apps: “We’re opening 50 internship slots this quarter,” or “See how our interns are driving innovation.” Every student sees your brand not just as an employer, but as a company actively fighting unemployment in Kenya.


That’s powerful PR. That’s employer branding at its best.


The Win-Win-Win

Students win: They gain real-world experience and a head start in life.

Universities win: They prove their graduates are employable.

Companies win: They save money, recruit smarter, and earn goodwill that translates into future business.


Be the Brand That Stands Out

Kenya’s 67% unemployment challenge isn’t just a statistic; it’s a call to action. Companies that step in today will be remembered tomorrow. They will be the brands students talk about, trust, and choose when it’s their turn to make purchasing decisions.


With MyResource, internships stop being a burden and become a competitive advantage.

👉 Lower costs. Smarter hiring. Stronger branding. Future customers. That’s the MyResource promise.
