INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of study

Student’s Industrial Work-experience Scheme (SIWES) is one of the Industrial Training

Fund (ITF) programme which was introduce in 1974 due to the inability of technology and
engineering student in Nigeria universities and polytechnics to meet the practical aspect of
the training. That is, the needs to enable student match their theoretical school knowledge
with the practical aspect of their training. The training last for six months. According to
Ekpenyong (2011), one of the principles underlying any industrial work experience scheme
for students in institutions of learning is the desire to marry the practical with the theoretical
learning. The author stressed further that it was realization of this that the ITF when it was
established, set out to study the extent to which the theoretical knowledge that students in
engineering technology and other fields in Nigeria institutions offering technology based
courses related to the field work experience expected of them by employers.

The result of ITF survey showed a great disparity between student’s knowledge and their
ability to apply it in relevant jobs. In order to bridge the gap between the two, the ITF in 1974
established a co-operative internship programme, which enables students to technology to
spend some part of their courses of relevant on the job practical experiences in appropriate
areas of Nigerian industry (Ekpenyong, 2011) The author further stressed that the internship
programme, SIWES, can therefore be seen as that which is intended to give Nigerian students
studying occupationally related courses Exerience that would supplement their theoretical
learning as a well of equipping the students with the skills to function in the world of work.

1.2 Brief history of SIWES

SIWES is a planned and structured programme based on stated and specific career objectives
which are geared toward developing the occupational competencies of participant. The
industrial training (was established in 1971 by decree 47) initiated the student industrial work
experience scheme SIWES in 1973. The scheme was designed to expose students to
industrial environment and enable them develop occasional competencies so they can
contribute to the national economic and technological development after graduation.

7
The main thrust of ITF programme and service is to stimulate human performance, improve
productivity, and induce value added production in industry and commerce. Through its
SIWES and vocational and apprentice training programme, the fund also build graduates and
youth self-employment, in the context of small scale industrialization economy.

1.2.1 Vision statement

To be the prime Skills Training Development Organization in Nigeria and one of the best in
the world.

1.2.2 Mission statement

corps of highly competent professional staff, modern techniques

1.2.3 Aim of SIWES

The effort is mainly to help students in Nigeria tertiary institution the practical aspect of their
field of study, exposing student to their machine and equipment.

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

i. To provide an avenue for students in institutions of higher learning to acquire industrial

skills and experience and in their approved course of study.

ii. To prepare students for the industrial works situation which they are likely to meet after
graduation. iii. To expose students to work methods and techniques in handling equipment
and machinery not available in their institution

iv. To enlist and strengthen employers involvement in the entire educational process and
prepare student for employment in industry and commerce.
