The objective, of this, industrial training, is 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 fie1d officer of DlNU project as field supervisor (Auma Goudoline). This was followed by orientation where I was first introduced to all the staffs of Dynamic Agro-pastoralist Development Organization (DADO) in all capacities and later I implemented the activities such as; vaccinations of poultries and transplanting of seedling to seed beds, Training of farmers on, animal management, deworming of goats, thinning of crop, pruning of bananas plants, watering of crops, weeding of nursery bed. These activities made me to gain a lot of skills and knowledge like; Deworming of goats and cattle, skills in general management of animals, communication skills and confidence in training farmers on animal and crop management. During Internship, I also faced some challenges like; poor mobilization of the fanner, lack of veterinary drugs and tillage equipment, crop and pesticide for spraying crops at the community we were to, carry out activities, limited transport means for field work in the organization since all staffs were located to their motorcycle for the duties and poor turn up of' the farmers to the training. In conclusion all the activities were implemented and industrial training was carried out successfully. I was able to gain a lot from Industrial training (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 tum up during such activities, DADO organization should also increase the number of motorcycles to solve transport problems and more equipment and veterinary drugs to, be installed so that animals are treated and vaccinated in time mid tillage equipment like hoes, seeds, fertilizers and pesticides for spraying crops So they improve in crop department too.
