Mi Vida Homes is hiring Graduate Trainees for its 2026 intake — a structured 6-month programme designed to fast-track careers across three distinct pathways: Investment Advisory, Marketing, and Technical Project Delivery. If you’re a recent graduate or final-year student with a Second Class Upper degree in a relevant field, this is one of the more structured graduate programmes currently open in Kenya’s real estate sector.
About This Programme
Mi Vida Homes — whose tagline My Home, My Life reflects its focus on quality urban residential development — is building its next generation of professionals through a structured graduate training programme. Rather than placing trainees in a single department, Mi Vida offers three distinct career pathway tracks, allowing graduates to enter the stream most aligned with their degree and career ambitions.
The programme is six months long and is designed as a genuine launchpad — structured learning, real project exposure, and a clear pathway into substantive roles within the organisation upon successful completion.
Three Career Pathway Tracks
Track 1: Investment Advisory
For graduates with backgrounds in Finance, Economics, or International Relations. You’ll gain exposure to property investment analysis, client advisory processes, and financial modelling within a real estate development context.
Track 2: Marketing
For graduates with backgrounds in Marketing, Public Relations, or Communications. You’ll work across Mi Vida’s brand, sales support, digital marketing, and stakeholder communications — learning how a residential developer positions and sells its properties in a competitive urban market.
Track 3: Technical Project Delivery
For graduates with backgrounds in Technology or the Built Environment — Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or related fields. You’ll work alongside project managers and technical teams on the delivery of residential development projects from planning through to handover.

How to Apply

Not stated in the listing. Apply immediately — graduate programme intakes typically close once cohort positions are filled.
How to Submit
Send your CV directly to:
Use a clear subject line — suggested format: “Graduate Trainee Application – [Your Track] – [Your Name]” — specifying which of the three pathways you’re applying for. Include a brief cover note explaining your degree, graduation year, and why you’re targeting your chosen track.
Tips for a Strong Application
Choose your track deliberately. Mi Vida offers three distinct pathways — don’t apply generically. In your cover note, explain specifically why Investment Advisory, Marketing, or Technical Project Delivery aligns with your degree and career goals. Vague applications are easy to overlook.
Lead with your classification. A Second Class Upper is the minimum requirement — state your degree class clearly in your CV header. Don’t make the screening team hunt for it.
Show ambition, not just qualifications. Mi Vida’s recruitment language centres on turning ambition into opportunity. Use your cover note to show what you want to build — not just what you’ve already done.
Final-year students: Confirm your expected graduation date clearly. Programmes are hesitant about candidates whose graduation timing is uncertain — remove that doubt upfront.
