This report contains and describes the activities' implemented at Goal Uganda, the skills and qualifications gained, challenges faced during the industrial training, conclusion of the report and recommendations derived from the challenges faced. 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 department of Market System Officer. This was followed by orientation where I was first introduced to the staff of Goal and later I implemented the activities such as; attending District coordination meetings, attending weekly planning meeting, had new intern induction with the team of Goal from Kampala, trained on m-water technology, Attended youth led research, participated in data entry captured and typed minutes for the coordination meetings, attended weekly review meeting, had field visits, quarterly reflection planning meeting and typed my report and was signed. During internship, I also face some challenges like; poor mobilization of the farmer, lack of' veterinary drugs and equipment at the Sub County, limited transport means for field work in the production department 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 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 up during such activities.
