It is important to earn as you study so that you can sustain yourself and your academic necessities. Finding a part-time job as an international university student can be a bit challenging.

However, do not be worried, using our services you can be guaranteed part-time job placement with one of our partners in Kenya. The placements are usually designed to suit your career paths and also help you prepare for the bigger world.

In your part-time job be prepared to meet and interact with the friendly locals. There are various options to choose from when going for part-time jobs; we would advise you to choose what could supplement your career path.

Kenya is a tourist destination and has foreign nationals coming in and out of the country year in and out. Therefore there are a plethora of employment opportunities in that industry.

Looking for employment options in tourism and hospitality is one way a student can earn a paycheque part-time. You can be involved as a tour guide hosting tourists from your home country.

Becoming a waitron is another option to consider for students. The working hours are flexible (making it very convenient for a student) and the demand for the job is always high, you will have no problem getting a job as a waiter/waitress.

One of the highs of this job is the tips. Although not the typical culture in Africa, when you work in a good restaurant you might get by via tips.

Tech start-ups are the trending thing all around Africa. The youth of the continent have a solution-based approach towards Africa’s past, current, and future problems. This approach has seen the sprouting of Kenyan tech start-up companies always in need of a niche skill. Join one of these small companies and be a game-changer in the country.

Foreign language tutoring is a popular part-time job for foreign students looking at earning a small salary to supplement themselves.

The world is fast evolving into one and knowing a foreign language sets you one step ahead of the rest. That is why most private schools usually have foreign language classes for students in primary or high school level. You can use your native or acquired language to earn an income if you can communicate in English as your first or second language.

Volunteering at a Non-Governmental Organisation is also a good way of earning a little money as you study. Although volunteering is usually considered an unpaying job, most organizations give volunteers a small wage for transport and lunch during their volunteering hours.

Saving that money can help you pay for your personal needs (such as toiletries and small groceries) and academic needs. The biggest win for volunteerism is that it is a big boost towards your CV. Many corporate companies look at the number of hours that a student has put in towards volunteering, and that is usually an added advantage.
