AgroStudies to pick Rwandan Students For Internship in Israel

{{AgroStudies, International Center for Agricultural Interns in Israel Ltd., will be accepting almost 90 Rwandan students to go to Israel to participate in an internship program beginning in the new school year, October 2013. }}

Minister Kalibata of Ministry of Agriculture & Animal Resources was visited by CEO of AgroStudies Yaron Tamir and Head of International & Student Relations Inbal Shoval on May 20th, 2013, to discuss the parameters of the internship program and its benefits to the students of Rwanda.

AgroStudies brings students from South Asian and African countries including the Philippines, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, India, Vietnam, Rwanda, Togo, Borkina Faso, and Ivory Coast to Israel, offering a program that combines practical training and theoretical studies in one or more various agricultural fields.

Students typically attend in their fourth year of their B.A. studies with focuses in General Agriculture or Animal Science.

They will be exposed to various modern standards, methods, and technologies in the following fields: field crops, flowers, aqua culture, dairy farms, poultry breeding, production, and vaccinations, fruit handling and packing, flowers, avocados, hen coops, planting, citrus, and vegetable and greenhouses farming.

Yaron Tamir and Inbal Shoval were taken to ISAE Busogo and Umutara University to show students the course program, and what they will be learning through the internship.

This internship program will provide huge benefits to the youth of the country. As the next generation, investing in youth means ensuring a good future for Rwanda, especially for the agriculture sector, which is viewed as a high priority for the country in its development and international success.

Learning from other countries and drawing from international lessons equips students with multiple perspectives and a greater ability to transform Rwanda.

“This internship program comes at the perfect time; one of the biggest challenges in Rwanda and its agriculture sector is capacity development,” Minister Kalibata states regarding the program.

The Ministry of Agriculture & Animal Resources shows its gratitude to AgroStudies and their commitment to developing agricultural knowledge throughout Africa and South Asia.
