Abstract:
During my final semester of the Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Food Engineering program, I had the privilege of participating in a one-month internship at Kazi Food Industry Ltd in Bangladesh. This internship program required me to work six days a week, allowing me to gain valuable practical experience. Kazi Food Industry Ltd is a prominent player in the frozen food industry in our country.
At Kazi Food Industry Ltd, there are various departments, each serving different functions. These departments include administration, accounting, VAT, production, quality control, maintenance, warehousing, and sales. As one of six students selected from Daffodil International University for the internship, my primary focus was on the manufacturing and quality control departments.
During my internship, I was involved in a range of activities within these departments. Some of the specific tasks I performed included:
Manufacturing: I observed and assisted in the production process of frozen food products. This involved understanding the production line, operating machinery, and ensuring adherence to quality standards.
Quality Control: I learned about quality control procedures and participated in conducting various tests and inspections to ensure product quality. This included sensory evaluation, microbiological testing, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
By actively engaging in these activities, I gained practical insights into the manufacturing and quality control aspects of the frozen food industry. It provided me with a valuable opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired during my studies and understand the real-world challenges and practices in the field.
Overall, my internship experience at Kazi Food Industry Ltd allowed me to deepen my understanding of the operations within the company, particularly in the manufacturing and quality control departments. It contributed to my professional growth and provided me with hands-on experience in the food industry.
