Abstract

This report contains activities implemented, skills, knowledge gained, challenges faced during the Industrial training, conclusion, and recommendations derived during the Industrial training. The objective of Industrial training is to make students benefit from the knowledge and skills gained from the field, apply the knowledge they get from the classroom in the field and build confidence in the students. During my Internship I was attached to the department of animal and crop production, this was followed by orientation where I was first introduced to the organization's staff and later implemented the activities such as; vaccination, castration, production, post-harvest management practices, treating livestock, deworming, verification of FGs, spraying, identification of capable farmers to plant orange maize, distribution of orange maize, follow up of farmer business clinic clients, mobilization for bulking quality control and assurance. During the internship, I also faced some challenges like insecurity in the area, limited transportation means of fieldwork, and poor turn-up of farmers. In conclusion, all the activities were implemented and Industrial training was carried out successfully in the end, I was able to gain a lot from it, and I was in a position of getting practical skills and knowledge in line with my course and relate with the farmers in the field. Much as all the activities were successfully done, there were also some challenges that hindered the smooth running of the activities.
