2018 Induction Program at the Roodeplaat Training Centre, pretoria.

April Month was met with a lot of hard work!


I would like to start by giving my deepest apologies to Eco-Generation, mentors for my absence during the April month. During that time I was attending an Induction Program hosted by the Department of Water and Sanitation. Unfortunately, the venue was in a secluded place where little to no reception was present, hence I could post for the April month. But I will do is share my experience at the induction program.

We were 42 students from various universities. Most of them were Engineering majors and a few were Science majors. The month long induction period included, panning ahead financially, getting registered as a professional scientists, first aid (or CPR), getting to know how the government public sector works and also work on out presentation skills.

We got to learn that serving in the public sector holds great responsibly and if you do not safeguard it well enough, it may raise dire implications to the citizens of the country.

It really was a great experience for all of was and an eye opening experience which has made me think differently and helped me see the connecting between the people, our water resources and and the laws that protect  them both.

Presentation day!

    Hi Gyeongrin!

    i do believe that we do need to experience the working world and how what we learn from varsity applies to the outside world as well. I really did have an eye opening experience at the induction program

    many thanks!

    Hello Rosa!
    As I major in the industrial engineering field, I also remember experiencing a difference in what we learn in our books and what actually happens in the real world. Basically things would go as the text says but due to the interaction between people and the imperfect premise, things needed opportune adjustment and modification!
    It seems that you've had a very meaningful time through out the induction program and thanks for sharing it with us :)
