Good agricultural practice.

Its always a nice environment to be in agriculture. Always learning new agricultural practice within the farmers working with. On day to day farm visit thats where the farmers needs are identified come up with resolutions not as an individual but as an office because team spirit is what the office encourage. The most challenge that really problematic is mostly in the CPA farms. Fighting and disrespect each other lead to farm not productive. The office arrange capacity building trainings to the CPA truly 75% of such trainings has brought about change in some CPA. Its always nice to work in the field of agriculture.

Pros: None
Cons: 8 hours

This a place full of legal risks yet its a learning curve for the impatient.

This is one of the most government controlled industries. A day at work is always a learning curve on how to deal with demotivated, disruptive learners. As a Mathd teacher, my work day is extended by at least 2 hours morethan the other teachers, you got to offer extra classes and mark all the daily class works before you call it a day. Relationship wise, l call my self one ofthe best minglers at work, l honestly dont choose people, l relate well with everyone from support staff up to the top management. The most challenging part is to try and motivate learners who dont want to learn. At the same time l enjoy it when l produce excellent results.

Pros: Great place to teach patience
Cons: Legal risks when you mishandle a child
