Career Infrastructure
Your Career Is More Than a Job. It Deserves a Place to Grow.
A professional career develops over many years through education, practical experience, employment, projects, certifications, professional relationships, and personal achievements.
Yet much of this information is scattered across résumés, certificates, emails, job platforms, and records maintained by different organizations.

Every time someone changes employers or applies for a new opportunity, they may need to reconstruct the same professional history.
MidCareer takes a different approach.
Through Career Identity and the connected MyResource ecosystem, MidCareer is designed to provide a continuing environment where Kenyan graduates and experienced professionals can maintain their career records, strengthen professional credibility, discover opportunities, and continue developing their capabilities.
Whether a career begins at a university, TVET institution, technical college, through an apprenticeship, or through practical workplace experience, that journey deserves continuity.
One professional journey. A growing career record. More opportunities to develop.
Self Development & Certification
MidCareer Is Built
on Self Development.
Your career grows when you do. Learn new skills, earn recognised certifications, and keep a record of every step, whether you are looking for your first job or building on years of experience.
Learn
Build new skills through courses, technical training, seminars, and career guides.
Get Certified
Prepare for professional and technical certifications that suit your field. Training providers and awarding bodies are clearly identified.
Practise
Join company seminars, workshops, and practical sessions to apply what you learn.
Record
Add completed learning and certifications to your Career Identity, with verification where available.
Certifications strengthen your skills and credibility. They do not guarantee a job or a promotion.
Why Career Infrastructure Matters
A Career Shouldn't Have to Start
Again With Every Application.
When people apply for employment, they often prepare a new résumé, upload certificates, describe their experience, and provide references.
The same information may be requested repeatedly by different employers and recruitment organizations.
Read moreShow less
Graduates may also lose their connection with university career services after completing their studies, while experienced professionals accumulate achievements that become difficult to organize.
MidCareer aims to address this fragmentation.
Career Infrastructure connects several important elements of professional life:
- A continuing record of education, skills, experience, and achievements.
- Appropriate evidence supporting professional qualifications and career information.
- Access to employers and career opportunities through MyResource.
- Professional development through seminars and certifications.
- Recruitment and project-based career pathways through connected platforms.
- Candidate control over professional information and sharing.
The objective is not simply to help people prepare their next application. It is to create a foundation that can support professional development throughout working life.
Your career history should become more useful as it grows, not more difficult to manage.
How Career Identity Works
Your Career Identity Sits at the Centre.
Career Identity is not another app. It is your own professional record, and every platform in the MidCareer ecosystem connects around it.
- ✓You own it. You decide what each employer or recruitment partner can see.
- ✓It follows you. Education, training, experience and verification build up in one record as you move from study to work, between employers and into new roles.
- ✓It is checked. Verification shows only the checks that have actually been completed.
Training and certification are features within these platforms, not a separate application.

MyInternshipFrom Education to Professional Life
Graduation Is a Transition,
Not the End of Career Support.
Every year, people complete their studies at universities, TVET institutions, technical colleges, and professional training organizations across Kenya.
Some enter employment immediately. Others need additional training, practical experience, professional exposure, or more time to identify suitable opportunities.
MidCareer is designed to support this transition without requiring graduates to abandon the career information they have already developed.
- 1
During Education and Training
Through participating educational institutions and relevant student platforms, individuals can begin building their profiles, exploring employer activities, participating in internships, and developing professional skills.
- 2
After Graduation
Graduates can continue their journey through MidCareer, where they can maintain relevant career information, explore employment opportunities, attend company seminars, and develop additional qualifications.
- 3
During Professional Employment
As individuals gain experience, they can record new responsibilities, projects, professional achievements, and certifications.
- 4
During Career Changes
Professionals can explore different industries, update their interests, strengthen relevant skills, and prepare for new employment or consulting opportunities.
Where the connected services support it and the individual provides the required permissions, career information can continue across relevant platforms.
For graduates whose institutions are not connected to MyResource, MidCareer should also provide a direct pathway to begin building a professional identity.
The career journey should continue regardless of where someone studied or when they secured their first job.
The Career Identity Number
One Permanent Number for
a Growing Professional Record.
Career Identity is designed around a permanent Career Identity Number, commonly called a CIN.
Following successful identity verification, a candidate receives a unique number associated with their career record.
Read moreShow less
The CIN remains the same throughout the individual's participation in supported ecosystem services.
Its purpose is to identify the career record consistently, rather than requiring separate identities for every professional activity.
A Number That Identifies, Not Exposes
The CIN is not a password and does not provide access to a person's account. It can be displayed on a Career Identity Card or used for an appropriate public verification check without making the underlying private documents accessible.
A Record That Develops Over Time
Education, employment history, projects, skills, qualifications, and other career facts can be maintained within the record. As new experience is gained, the professional can continue adding relevant information.
One Identity Across Supported Services
The underlying Career Identity architecture is intended to support consistent career information across participating applications. This provides a foundation for continuity as users move through different stages of education, employment, and professional development.

Build Your Career Record
Bring Your Professional Experience
Into One Place.
A professional's capabilities are not limited to a job title or qualification.
Relevant experience may include internships, industrial attachments, apprenticeships, workplace projects, equipment knowledge, certifications, management responsibilities, and specialist skills.
Career Identity provides a structured way for individuals to maintain these details.
Education and Qualifications
Academic degrees, diplomas, technical certificates, and relevant professional qualifications.
Employment History
Employers, positions, responsibilities, periods of employment, and professional development.
Internships and Practical Training
Workplace attachments, industrial training, apprenticeships, and practical assignments.
Projects and Achievements
Professional contributions, completed projects, improvements, and relevant outcomes.
Technical and Professional Skills
Software, machinery, equipment, business processes, technical methods, and transferable capabilities.
Certifications and Learning
Professional qualifications, completed training, continuing professional development, and relevant educational achievements.
Languages and Professional Communication
Language abilities and experience working in different professional environments.
References and Endorsements
Supporting information from relevant individuals who can confirm specific aspects of professional experience.
The record should distinguish between information provided by the professional and information supported through appropriate verification.
A clearer professional history begins with recording real experience accurately.
Build Your Profile With AI Assistance
Make Professional Experience
Easier to Organize.
Preparing a complete professional profile can take time, particularly when someone has worked in several positions or completed many projects.
Career Identity supports two ways of adding information.
Enter Information Directly
Professionals can record career facts themselves, including education, work experience, skills, projects, and qualifications.
Use AI-Assisted Document Extraction
Professionals can submit supported documents so AI can suggest relevant information for their profiles.
The system presents suggestions for review, allowing the individual to accept, edit, or reject each proposed item.
AI suggestions are not automatically treated as independently verified career facts.
Read moreShow less
The Professional Remains in Control. Nothing proposed by AI should become part of the career record without the individual's approval.
The objective is to reduce repeated data entry while preserving accuracy and personal control.
AI can help organize experience. It cannot replace the professional's responsibility for what the record says.
Professional Information and Evidence
Make It Clear What Has Been Verified
and What Has Not.
A credible career record should distinguish a person's statements from information independently supported by another organization or individual.
Career Identity uses evidence labels to explain the source of career facts.
Self-Declared
The professional entered the information directly. It has not been independently verified.
Confirmed by You
AI suggested the information, and the professional accepted or edited it.
University Verified
An authorized university registrar confirmed the relevant academic qualification through the verification process.
Reference Verified
A referee or participating endorser supported a relevant aspect of the professional's experience.
These distinctions help prevent misleading interpretations of career records.
For example, confirming that someone owns a CIN does not mean every skill, employment position, or qualification recorded under that CIN has been verified.
Professional credibility grows when the supporting evidence is clear.
Academic Qualification Verification
Let Verified Qualifications
Strengthen Your Career Record.
Academic qualifications can be important when applying for employment, professional registration, further study, or other opportunities.
However, confirming a qualification may involve repeated communication between candidates, employers, and educational institutions.
Career Identity introduces a structured verification process for participating universities.
- 1
Request Verification
The professional selects an eligible qualification and submits a verification request to the relevant institution.
- 2
University Review
An authorized registrar reviews the request against the institution's records.
- 3
Verification Decision
The registrar may approve, reject, or request additional information.
- 4
Verifiable Academic Credential
When approved, the system issues an electronic confirmation certificate with its own verification code.
- 5
Transparent Verification Charges
Where an institution charges for qualification verification, the relevant fee is disclosed before the request proceeds.
The detailed verification specification initially focuses on participating universities. Verification pathways for TVET qualifications, technical certificates, college diplomas, and other awarding bodies should be introduced as eligible institutional integrations become available.
A qualification's value is strengthened when its authenticity can be confirmed by the institution that awarded it.
Professional References and Endorsements
Let Professional Relationships
Support Real Experience.
Professional experience is often best understood by people who have worked directly with an individual.
A supervisor may be able to confirm responsibilities within a particular role. A project manager may be familiar with work completed on an assignment, while a colleague may be able to support relevant professional contributions.
Career Identity provides structured ways to request confirmation of specific career information.
References From External Individuals
A professional can invite an appropriate referee to respond to a request using a private link. The referee does not need to create a full Career Identity account to complete the process.
Endorsements From Existing Members
An individual who already participates in Career Identity may receive an endorsement request within the platform.
Supporting Specific Career Facts
References and endorsements should relate to relevant experience or information, rather than suggesting that an entire career record has been independently verified.
Candidate Control and Accountability
The process includes controls intended to reduce misuse, prevent self-endorsement, and manage how requests and responses are handled.
Professional references can add context and supporting evidence to a growing career record.
Career Identity Strength
Understand How Well Your
Career Record Is Supported.
Career Identity includes a five-level strength indicator designed to communicate the degree of supporting evidence associated with a professional record.
The indicator can help users understand the difference between creating a basic profile and strengthening that profile through appropriate confirmation of qualifications or experience.
Read moreShow less
For example, an individual may have recorded education and employment history but not yet requested available verification.
As eligible evidence is added, the identity-strength indicator can reflect the increased support for the record.
The score is not intended to measure intelligence, professional talent, personal value, or guaranteed employability.
It should not be presented as a ranking of people by ability.
A stronger evidence record means clearer supporting information, not a promise of a better career outcome.
Digital Career Identity Card
A Professional Identity You Can
Share Without Sharing Everything.
Career Identity includes a digital card associated with the professional's permanent CIN.
The card is designed to make it easier for someone to check whether a Career Identity Number is valid and review information that the holder has permitted to be visible.
Permanent Career Identity Number
The card displays the unique identifier associated with the career record.
Identity Status
The card can indicate the status of the identity.
Career Identity Strength
The card presents the relevant evidence-strength indicator.
QR Code Verification
A QR code can direct viewers to an appropriate verification page.
Privacy Controls
Public verification does not provide access to underlying passports, identity documents, private certificates, or other sensitive records.
The holder's name is displayed publicly only when the applicable visibility setting permits it.
The CIN is an identifier, not a login credential.
Share proof of your professional identity without surrendering your private documents.
Privacy and Control
Your Career Information Should
Remain Under Your Control.
Professional identity may involve sensitive personal information, including academic records, employment history, identity documents, and professional references.
Career Identity is designed around minimizing unnecessary data retention and giving individuals control over their career information.
Temporary Document Processing
Uploaded identity documents and files used for AI-assisted profile suggestions are processed for a limited period under the specified workflow. The design provides for deletion after processing rather than indefinite storage of the original documents.
Candidate Approval
AI-generated changes require the professional's acceptance before becoming part of the career record.
Controlled Information Sharing
A CIN or digital identity card does not automatically grant someone access to the complete professional record.
Institution-Specific Access
Participating university registrars should only access qualification verification requests assigned to their institutions.
Verification Transparency
The system should show which career facts are self-declared and which have been supported by an appropriate verifier.
Privacy-Conscious Public Checks
Public CIN verification should reveal only permitted information.
A professional should be able to strengthen career credibility without losing control over personal information.
Connecting Professionals With Employers
A Career Identity Becomes More Valuable
When Opportunities Are Connected.
Maintaining a professional record is important, but a career also depends on access to employers, learning opportunities, and meaningful professional relationships.
Through the wider MyResource ecosystem, MidCareer connects career development with participating organizations and employment activities.
MyResource — Employer Opportunities
Companies use MyResource to manage recruitment activities, publish jobs and internships, and organize employer engagement.
MidCareer — Professional Opportunities
Graduates and experienced professionals explore available career opportunities and maintain their professional information through MidCareer.
Recruiter — Recruitment Partners
Participating recruiters support professional recruitment through appropriate employer relationships and candidate representation.
Contractor — Project-Based Work
Specialists can explore contract assignments, consulting projects, and independent professional opportunities.
The Career Identity specification places employer access to verified career records, job matching, and application tracking in later development phases. These future capabilities should only be described as available after implementation.
The long-term objective is to connect credible professional information with relevant career opportunities while preserving candidate choice.
Company Seminars and Professional Engagement
Stay Connected With Industry
Even When You're Not Looking for Work.
Professional development does not happen only when someone is searching for another job.
Company seminars, technical workshops, career fairs, and employer presentations help individuals understand industries, technologies, working environments, and changing professional expectations.
Read moreShow less
Through MyResource, participating employers can publish activities for relevant audiences across the ecosystem.
For graduates, this may provide valuable exposure to potential employers.
For experienced professionals, it may offer opportunities to learn about specialist technologies, management practices, or future career directions.
Employer Activities
The best professional relationship may begin before a vacancy is advertised.
Responsible Employer and Recruiter Verification
Professional Trust Must
Work in Both Directions.
Career Identity helps candidates support the credibility of their professional information.
But a trusted career environment must also help candidates understand the organizations that want to recruit them.
MidCareer aims to screen participating employers and recruitment partners before presenting them as verified.
Employer Identity
Review relevant company registration and organizational information.
Authorized Representatives
Confirm that participating representatives are authorized to act for their organizations.
Recruitment Relationships
Where recruiters act on behalf of employers, review the relevant authorization and representation arrangements.
Job Authenticity
Review whether the advertised opportunity has been authorized and whether the recruitment details are clear.
International Employer Screening
Apply additional scrutiny when participating foreign organizations seek to recruit Kenyan professionals.
Candidate Protection
Prohibit participating recruiters from charging jobseekers for introductions, interviews, placements, or employment offers through the ecosystem.
Verification helps reduce uncertainty but cannot guarantee employment or eliminate every recruitment risk.
Candidates should be able to evaluate employers, just as employers evaluate professional qualifications and experience.
The MyResource Ecosystem
Different Platforms.
One Connected Professional Journey.
The MyResource ecosystem developed by ERP Tohama brings together career-related services for educational institutions, students, professionals, employers, recruiters, and contractors. Training and certification are part of the platforms themselves rather than a separate application.

Future Career Infrastructure
Building for Careers
That Will Continue Changing.
Professional careers are changing as technologies evolve, industries adopt new systems, and individuals develop different ways of working.
Career Infrastructure should be able to support these changes without requiring people to abandon their professional histories.
Read moreShow less
The Career Identity foundation establishes a structured approach to identity verification, career information, evidence, qualification confirmation, professional references, and controlled information sharing.
Future development may extend this foundation through additional employer-connected services, job matching, application tracking, and other professional tools.
These capabilities should continue to respect candidate control and provide transparent distinctions between verified evidence and unverified information.
The objective is to build infrastructure that remains useful as professions, technologies, and employment markets evolve.
A lasting career deserves infrastructure designed for the long term.
Your professional journey deserves continuity
Build a Career Record That Keeps Growing With You.
