Background

Do you want to work on complex, real-world challenges, the kind that demand curiosity, humility, and grit, and that place you alongside ambitious people committed to becoming better every day? If that sounds like you, then you belong at SUS AFRIC. SUS AFRIC is inviting applications for its Graduate Fellowship Program, a 6-month work based integrated learning experience designed to build sector competencies through mentorship, industry exposure, and hands on delivery. This is not an observer program. You will be embedded in active assignments where communities, enterprises, and county systems meet, contributing to solutions aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), where your skills become part of real progress in livelihoods, food systems, enterprise growth, youth employment, and innovation.

Your Impact

As a SUS-AFRIC Graduate Fellow, you will work in small, high-trust teams supporting projects across Nairobi, Kilifi, Machakos, and Kajiado Counties. You will play an active role in planning and delivery—supporting field execution, gathering and analyzing information, documenting learning, and helping teams translate ideas into results. Depending on your track, you may contribute to value chain work, product development, digital tools, creative production, or community-facing interventions. You will learn how to move from "good ideas" to "good outcomes"—through structured implementation, stakeholder engagement, and accountability to results. This program is designed to strengthen your sector competence while sharpening the professional habits that matter in real work: discipline, collaboration, reliability, problem-solving, and clear communication. You will gain direct exposure to industry expectations and development delivery realities, building a portfolio that speaks louder than a transcript.

Your Growth

Driving impact is not easy work, especially where resources are constrained and problems are urgent. This fellowship is for people who can learn fast, take feedback seriously, and take ownership. In return, SUS AFRIC will provide a strong learning environment that includes:

  • Mentorship and coaching from experienced practitioners
  • Regular feedback to accelerate your professional growth
  • Exposure to real delivery expectations and industry standards
  • Opportunities to build a strong portfolio of real work, not just credentials
  • A values driven culture where your voice matters and integrity is non negotiable

This fellowship is open to:

  • Recent graduates (0 to 3 years) in the fields above or closely related
  • Applicants who have completed a degree or diploma
  • Applicants who are not employed during the fellowship period
  • Applicants who can commit fully for 6 months
