Whatever you're studying, there's a gig category that plays to it — here's where to start by course.
You already have the most directly monetizable skillset on campus. Beyond formal software development, gigs like basic website fixes, WordPress setup, Excel/Sheets automation, and tech support for small businesses are in constant demand and rarely require a full CS degree to deliver — a solid foundation is enough to start.
Coursework in marketing, accounting, and management translates directly into gigs like social media management, basic bookkeeping for small businesses, and market research surveys. Many small Kenyan businesses need exactly the structured thinking a business student already practices in class.
Teaching practice builds skills that map almost perfectly onto online tutoring — for secondary school students prepping for KCSE, or younger learners needing homework help. Content creation explaining concepts simply (a core teaching skill) also does well as short-form video or written guides.
Health science students are well suited to health-content writing, patient-education material, and research/data entry for health-adjacent small businesses. Attention to detail from clinical training also translates directly into transcription and data-accuracy work.
Strong writing and research skills are the most transferable asset here — freelance writing, legal-adjacent research summaries, and content editing are natural fits. Law students in particular can find demand for plain-language explainers of legal topics for small businesses.
Precision and problem-solving translate well into technical writing, CAD/diagram work, and structured data analysis gigs. Engineering students also tend to do well with tutoring in maths and physics for secondary students.
These categories are starting points, not limits — every gig category on Campus Pesa is open to students from any course, at any university.
No. Your university email verifies your student status; individual gigs are open based on the skills the client is asking for, not your specific major.
Yes — the categories above are just the fastest-fit starting points based on skills you're already building in class.
