Education
  • January, 2025 - December, 2025
  • Fulltime
  • During my Work Integrated Learning (WIL) at UJ CEI Farm, I was actively involved in crop production and smart farming operations, including hydroponics, aquaponics, greenhouse management, seedling propagation, composting, irrigation scheduling, pest and disease monitoring, and farm record keeping.
  • I demonstrated strong leadership skills by coordinating and leading a team of 12 students during various farming activities and projects. This role required effective communication, teamwork, task delegation, and ensuring that daily operations were completed efficiently and according to farm standards.
  • I gained valuable hands-on experience in modern agricultural practices, problem-solving, team management, and sustainable farming systems. Through this experience, I developed the ability to work under pressure, meet production targets, and contribute positively to a professional farming environment. My leadership role strengthened my confidence, responsibility, and ability to guide others while maintaining high standards of work and productivity.
