Abstract:
This report contains and describes the activities implemented, skills and qualifications gained, challenges faced during the industrial training, the conclusion of the report, and recommendations derived from the challenges faced in the field. The objective of this industrial training was to make students benefit from the skills and knowledge gained from the fields, apply the knowledge they get from the classroom in the field and build confidence in the students. During internship I was attached to the department of Agriculture and livelihood. This was followed by orientation where 1 was first introduced to the staff office members, work and visiting sub countries where they operate, later I implemented the activities such as; training saving groups, conservation agriculture trainings. These activities have made me to gain a lot of skills and knowledge like:
communication skills and confidence in training farmers on enterprise identification and development, saving culture. During internship, I also face some challenges like; limited transport means for fieldwork, poor turn up of the farmers to the training, shortage of lunch among others. In conclusion all the activities were implemented and industrial training was carried out successfully. I was able to gain a lot from it. I was in position of getting practical skills and knowledge in line with my career and relating with people in the field. The technical advice that I provided addressed farmers' problem and needs. Much as all were successfully done, there were also some little challenges which hindered the smooth running of the activities making me recommend that proper mobilization of farmers must improve for the training programs to solve problems of poor turn up during such activities, the organization should also increase the number of motorcycles to solve transport problems.
