Innovation Details

EduLink KE is a digital platform designed to connect Kenyan students with verified internship and graduate job opportunities, ensuring a secure and streamlined transition from education to employment. By addressing the rising concerns around fake internships and lack of placement accountability, EduLink KE provides students with a trusted environment where they can apply for real opportunities, track their progress, and receive digital certification upon completion. The platform offers tools such as digital logbooks, supervisor ratings, and AI-powered smart matching to personalize internship recommendations based on each user’s profile and skills.

The platform solves three major challenges: fraudulent internship listings, poor tracking of student experiences, and the gap between academic training and real-world work readiness. EduLink KE ensures that all listings are screened and verified, protecting students from scams while providing institutions with insights into student engagement and performance. With over 1,500 students, 75 active opportunities, and partnerships with 30 institutions and 45 verified employers, EduLink KE is redefining work-integrated learning in Kenya by leveraging AI, digital certification systems, and real-time tracking tools.
