Abstract:
The industrial training report is a combination of all the activities undertaken during the industrial training period in Kortek s/c Bukwo district local Government. Bukwo district is one of the districts in eastern Uganda; it’s bordered by Kenya to the east, Mount Elgon Nation Park to the south, Amudat district to the north and Kween district to the west. The most predominant tribe is the sabinys who do practice livestock rearing and cultivating of crops. During my IT was attached to the production sector under the supervision of DPO and under him was the extension workers and I was introduced to many activities among which were NCD sensitization and vaccination, pasture training and establishment, meat inspection, disease diagnosis and treatment such ECF, black quarter, assessing NUSAF cows and handing over to farmers, monitoring government technologies and farmer trainings, with such activities I obtained skills on disease diagnosis, preventive medicine, drug administration, farmer trainings and monitoring and evaluation. This IT has exposed the to the word of hands activities which is a product of class room learning and has opened my eyes widely to the world since such exposure builds confidence makes work easy. However, there were some challenges, the area was hilly which made movement hard, some farmers wanted facilitation before attending some. farmers were so conservative and also the transport system was so poor. Recommendations' local council ones should sensitize their people on the importance of production trainings, construction of durable working roads to ease access to hard-to-reach area to ensure uniform technology adoption in the s/c.
