Graduate trainees/management trainees are fresh graduates who are employed by top companies and trained for some period before they are offered full-time employment.
One secret you should know is that this ‘crop’ of professionals is very important for any company because most of them end up being senior managers in companies they work for.
They are the most valued employees because they have the best academic papers and are considered the best brains in their respective fields.
Though salaries for graduate trainees cannot exceed that of seasoned professionals, they are somehow higher than those paid to fresh employees in almost all sectors of the economy.
The following are salaries paid to graduate trainees in selected companies in Kenya
