Case Studies

Today, let's meet Honest Hope Mudenge, a student at The Clean Cooling Academy who is on the Trainer the Trainer programme.

Hope is currently taking The Train the Trainer Course with the Clean Cooling Academy on the ACES Rubirizi Campus. 

Hope is learning about how cold-chains help throughout the process from "Farm to fork" in agriculture, along with gaining knowledge on how cold-chains are vital within the health system. 

Engaging in hands on demonstrations, learning how to use refrigeration equipment, gaining knowledge about post-harvest refrigeration and working with other students in the classroom, Hope has already covered a vast array of topics and developed her understanding of cold-chain, clean cooling and renewable energy. She is excited to continue in the programme.

What do other students say

"This isn't just a day in the classroom, come join us and learn from facilitator-led discussions, practical workshops, interactive activities, and meet like-minded students."

Join the Clean Cooling Community and start talking with other students, including Hope, about their experiences with CCN training courses.
