At Joint Energy and Environment Projects, we believe that empowering youth and students with practical, hands-on skills is key to driving sustainable development and fostering innovation. Our internship program is designed to provide students with valuable training in green technologies, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy systems, and entrepreneurship
Through this program, we aim to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application. Interns will engage in a variety of practical activities that not only build their technical expertise but also inspire them to become change-makers in their communities
Our intership program covers the following core areas:
Interns will learn how to produce eco-friendly briquettes as sustainable alternative to traditional fuels, helping reduce deforestation and carbon emissions
Participants will be trained in making both solid and liquid soaps skills that promote hygiene and provide opportunities for small scale business ventures
Interns will create natural mosquito-repellent candles, supporting public health initiatives aimed at reducing malaria in local communities.
Students will gain hands-on experience intallating solar dryers, which are vital for preserving agricultural products and reducing post harvest losses
Interns will be trained in the installation and basic maintenance of solar panels to provide sustainable energy solution for homes and businesses
Participants will learn how to install and operate efficient irrigation systems to improve agricultural productivity and enable year round farming
Interns will acquire skills in setting up nursery units and preparing gardens critical steps in promoting food security and sustainable agricultural practices.
Beyond technical skill, the program offers training in key business areas to empower students to turn their skills into viable enterprise. This includes:
On 5th February JEEP successfully installed three types of solar dryers at the demonstration center as part of the DREEM Hub Project. These included a parabolic solar dryer, a mini parabolic solar dryer, and a conventional slanting wedge solar dryer. The solar dyers were designed to demonstrate the potential of solar energy in preserving perishable agricultural produce, such as vegetables, and grains. By utilizing solar energy, these dryers effectively exted the shelf life of farm produce while maintaining its nutritional value, offering a sustainable and energy efficient alternative to traditional post-harvest management methods for stallholder farmers
Its worth noting that the installation of these solar dryers is currently in the testing phase, and early indications show that they are performing well in dehydrating various agricultural products.
