where are our attachments?

Right now am a student on long holiday. It is thus with much trouble that I find the courage to write this piece. This is well with knowledge that my advocacy for the rights of students could well cripple my chance of getting an attachment after my next academic year. But I choose to be the champion for the students who face the harsh realities of the job market that once only lacked sufficient opportunities for job seekers and the hitherto mass opportunities for interns is no more.
Several students have been victim of situations whereby two months to end of attachment period have never been accorded an opportunity to work within the industry. This is quite a piteous act because the same companies that deny you a chance to learn from them would like you to have experience when they recruit you. Many a sole have grown flat while the young and ambitious student seeks to be given the opportunity to dine with the experts. This is even while such HR executives know the significance of an attachment to a university student. I would not at all blame the university administrations for not being facilitators in ensuring these students acquire the necessary knowledge because most campuses have even introduced internal attachment. How much will it cost the society to teach the future generation the dynamics of an industry that is yet to belong to them is the question that lingers in the minds of students. The industry has created such a big clearance level that student who merely wants to conduct an informational interview with an expert in their target industry has to wait for days. Talk of a society that feeds their young ones and I will ask what such pure negligence is to teach students.
This is beyond the fact that some students have marvellous ideas for the industry that once given a chance could be game changers. It is a known fact that not all underperforming students lack great ideas for particular industries. Is Kenya being a country that typically protects its present from its future? Or is it just that the present detests the guts of the future?
All we ask from these industries is three months to give us a chance to learn. A chance to know how well prepared we are for the industry. A chance to be seen for the real industrial content we possess beyond the academic laxity our transcripts show. We all know Kenya will never achieve a vision 2030 unless it trusts the undergraduates to help it get there. Let us build Kenya one generation at a time.
