Top 5 Best Careers On Demand In the Kenyan Job Market Young people across the world are finding it hard to get sustainable employment or any kind of job for that matter. Most governments, including Kenya, have placed job creation as high priority. But in the midst of the job scarcity, there are professionals that are highly sought, where jobs look for them. Here is a list of the 5: 1. Software Developer The career includes applications and systems software development. There has been a steady growth in the demand for software developers over the last three years. A degree/diploma in computer science or IT will more likely lead you to a career in software or system development. But there are a number of proactive individuals who have learned how to code independently. This career is on demand because it is not industry specific. Nearly all sectors or companies need a system they can use to improve their operations. 2. Accountants and Auditors Accountants and auditors are needed in virtually all organisations. You can be assured any company worth its value will have an accountant. The more organisations come up, the more accountants and auditors are needed. This is also one career where mobility is very high with highly qualified accounting professionals sought after. 3. Computer Systems Analysts A systems analyst’ work is to ensure computer systems in an organization are working efficiently and effectively. This category will also include network and system administrators. Due to the nature of their job description, system analysts are employed by medium to big corporations. A bachelors degree is required for this career but several software and computer vendors like Oracle and Microsoft offer specialized certification courses, making system analyst a high sought profession. 4. Human Resource Personnel Organizations are about people management and processes. The science of human resource management has been gaining popularity over the last few years. Like the other ‘hot jobs’, HR management is needed in all organisations. 5. Marketers and Sales Executives Another career that cuts across all sectors. But its not enough to just be a marketer – there are enough marketers in the market – you need to have specialised skills. If you have experience in market research analysis or strategic marketing, you have an edge over thousands seeking for the same opportunities. In sales, you will only be in demand if you are specialized in a particular field and have brought in a few key clients.
