KUCIAP
The Kenya University and College Industrial Attachment Portal, connecting students seeking attachment with organisations offering placements.
Overview
KUCIAP is a platform intended to connect students seeking industrial attachment opportunities with organisations offering placements, through student profiles, employer connections, opportunity discovery and skills and course-based matching.
Problem being addressed
Industrial attachment is a graduation requirement for many programmes, yet finding a placement often depends on personal contacts and informal channels.
Why it matters
Attachment is a gate to graduation and to early work experience. Making placement discovery less dependent on who a student happens to know widens access.
Solution
A portal where students build profiles and discover opportunities, and organisations list placements and find candidates by course and skill.
My role
Founder and developer. I designed and built the platform and maintain it.
Challenges encountered
Two-sided platforms only work when both sides are present, and matching students to placements needs care to be genuinely useful.
Lessons learned
Marketplace problems are organisational as much as technical.
Future direction
Grow organisational participation and improve matching.
