CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a skill training programme designed to expose and prepare students of institution of higher learning for the industrial work situations they are likely to meet after graduation.
The scheme was designed to expose students to industrial environment and enable them develop occupational competencies so that they can readily contribute their quota to national economic and technological development after graduation.
The Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) was established by the industrial Training Fund in (ITF) 1973 to enable students of tertiary institution have basic technical knowledge of industrial works base on their course of study before the completion of their program in their respective institutions and also to solve the problem of lack of adequate practical skills in preparation for employment in industries by Nigerian graduates of tertiary institutions.
The major background behind the embarkment of students in SIWES was to expose them to the industrial environment and enable them develop occupational competencies so that they can readily contribute their quota to national economic and technological development after graduation.
1.1 OBJECTIVES OF SIWES
According to Federal Government in its Gazette of April 1978, the objectives of the Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) are to: * To extend the knowledge of student and widing their interests as well as to improve their technical skills. * Provide students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge in real work situation thereby bridging the gap between theory and practice; and * Provide students the opportunity to relate what have been taught in the class with the actual knowledge obtainable in the field. * Provide an avenue for students in institutions of higher learning to acquire industrial skills and experience in their course of study, which are restricted to Engineering and
