Trade project samples in food and beverage

Before we delve into trade project samples in food and beverage, lets look at the format of writing the trade project report

The trade project report in a diploma or certificate course refers to a document that summarizes and presents the findings, processes, outcomes, and insights gained from a practical project related to a specific trade or field of study. This type of report is commonly required in vocational or technical diploma programs, where students are expected to apply theoretical knowledge and practical skills to real-world situations.

Here is a format of how you can write and present your own KNEC trade project

A good Trade project should have a cover page, declaration, dedication, acknowledgement and abstract each on its own pages. A good cover page should have the title of the research proposal, course code of the candidate, index number, exam series, institution name, supervisors name and the department for example business or ICT department. You may also choose to add references, appendix and questionnaire to your trade project.

LITERATURE REVIEW: This consists of what has been done in the area of study; related work to your study and why you are not adopting or accepting their results for your study. Students are advised to use papers that are peer reviewed as they have validated solutions. Google scholar is a valuable tool where you can get up to date works from different scholars. The literature review should not be just a compilation of reproduction of the work of others. It requires the student to examine and comment critically on the literature relevant to the students project area or area of research.
