INTRODUCTION

Background of UTB
UTB was founded in 2006 as an institution of higher learning in Rwanda. This was as a result of

solution provider for the training of professionals in the areas of Hospitality, Tourism and
Business Information Technology.

It is against this background that students are required to undertake Industrial Attachment
placement in the respective industry in order to equip them with practical skills, knowledge and
proper work attitude. The Industrial Attachment placement enables the student to have an all

Benefits for the organization

Organizations where students do their Industrial Attachment will immensely benefit from the
fresh knowledge our students are bringing on board. Although young in their field of
specialization, our students are well equipped to excel in the field and firms can incorporate their
ideas and insight to turnaround their operations.

2. INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT REPORTING

At the end of every month, each student shall send a detailed account of daily activities as
recorded in the logbook, to the institution supervisor’s official e-mail. The institutions supervisor
should also complete the assessment forms after every visitation. The industry supervisor will
continually assess the student and complete the provided form, which are to be submitted at the
end of the student Industrial Attachment period to the university.

At the end of the Industrial Attachment training, the student is required to submit a final Industrial
Attachment report to the respective university supervisor. This should be prepared in accordance
to the guidelines provided by the respective department. The university supervisor will compile
the total marks and submit them to the respective department. Provided in the appendices are the
detailed formats for the Industrial Attachment report for the students.
The students in Vocational Training Programs (VTP) should follow the guidelines given by the
mother departments but only concentrate on their field of specialization.

Assessment criteria
Student’s logbook 40%
Industry supervisor’s report 10%
UTB supervisor’s report 20%
Student’s Industrial Attachment report 30%
100 %

INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT LOGBOOK

During an Industrial Attachment, one may have different learning experiences. These
experiences tend to get mixed up, and therefore, fade away with time. The personal log book will
help the student benefit as much as possible from the Industrial Attachment. The student must
record in the note book his or her daily experiences in the department or section where he or she
is attached for the whole Industrial Attachment period.

The student must maintain the logbook of daily operations. Before reporting to work, the student
must formulate the objectives of the day depending on the area they are working, a summary of
daily activities and challenges encountered at the end of the day, which must then be recorded in
the Logbook every day.

Page | 11
UTB INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT HANDBOOK

The Industrial Attachment Logbook is valid only if it is signed by the industry supervisor at the
end of every week. If the signature of the industry supervisor at the department where the student
was attached is missing, the university shall reject the student’s logbook. The UTB supervisors
must read the logbook and sign on it during the supervision visit.

3. FORMAT FOR THE INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT LOGBOOK

The logbook should start with the overall Industrial Attachment objectives. These objectives
should be individually generated as per the student’s expectations. The objectives must be
SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Measurable)

Daily to do List

Formulate objectives to be attained on a daily basis, depending on the department.


Example:
Date: 01/03/2011
Department: Front Office department-at the Reception:
Working shift: 7.00 AM-3.00 PM (Morning shift)

Objectives for the day

i. Find out how the check-in process is done


ii. Check in the day’s arrivals,

Ascertain whether your objectives were achieved at the end of the shift/day. Have different
objectives for each day for the 3 months. Record any major incidences for every day in your Log
book and how they were addressed /resolved: what you think was done well and what was not.
(e.g. Angry guest protesting against poor service-didn’t see the lion in the game drive) this will
form a basis for your report at the end of the Industrial Attachment period. Gather as much data
as possible, every day in your note book. Thank the staff you worked with before you relocate to
other department. Record your observations and experiences carefully in your diary or notebook
on a daily basis, as the UTB Lecturer will have to assess your progress & notebook when he or
she visits you in your place of attachment.

INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT ABROAD

Students have freedom to seek and undertake Industrial Attachment abroad. However they will
be responsible for their own upkeep (Insurance, food, accommodation, and transport) and
documentary requirements (passport, work permit, yellow fever vaccination and medical
certificate—The Food Handlers’ Certificate—to be obtained at the recommended laboratories in
the countries/localities as required by the tutoring companies).
Students will also be responsible for the expenses (Transport, food, accommodation,
communication) of the supervisor who shall visit them abroad.
Page | 12
UTB INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT HANDBOOK

Students should provide a copy of the acceptance letter to the Career Advisory Center before
leaving for Industrial Attachment abroad. (These conditions only apply for self-sponsored
students. For sponsored students by UTB or other organizations where the CAC does the
coordination, the students should proceed to the CAC for information). However, UTB shall
provide recommendation to enable such students to process their documents.

A higher level of language proficiency, especially English is mandatory for students seeking
Industrial Attachment abroad. If a student secures Industrial Attachment abroad himself or
herself, and obtains an acceptance letter, it is up to the organization to assess the language
proficiency of the student. But if the university secures Industrial Attachment places abroad, then
students have to be vetted by their respective department. Local insurance is not applicable
abroad. The concerned department in conjunction with the university administration will
determine the best way to supervise the student undertaking Industrial Attachment abroad. The
university will work to create a good rapport with stakeholders abroad.

Industrial Attachment report format

The following format guideline outlines the specific requirements of the Industrial Attachment
report in terms of the overall structure and necessary sections which are appropriate in most
circumstances. There is no strict rule on the length and specific formatting of text. You should be
able to format your report in the style most appropriate for your studies. However, a typical
Industrial Attachment report consists of three main sections: the preliminaries, the main text and
the reference material, all of which are outlined on the following pages.

Preliminaries

The preliminaries have to include:


1. Title Page
2. Acknowledgement and Endorsement
3. Executive Summary

The Title Page introduces your reader to your report by listing the following information: report
title; employer’s name and location; date of report; your names, student number, email address,
and Industrial Attachment course number and year; the university name; and the ``partial
fulfillment'' phrase. (See the sample title page, Appendix A.)

The Acknowledgement and Endorsement on the second page should contain any
acknowledgement of assistance and a statement of endorsement, which states that you wrote the
report yourself and that it has not already received academic credit from another institution. (See
the example page, Appendix B.)

4. Table of Contents

The Executive Summary is the most important part of your report. It summarizes the body of
the report, outlining its scope, purpose and major findings, highlighting the key conclusions and
recommendations. The Executive Summary allows a busy manager to understand the report's
significant information without reading the whole text.

Write your Executive Summary after you have written the report. It is not enough to state what
you are `going to discuss’ in the report. The executive summary has to be self-contained and
must state all the major points of the study. You are not required to discuss in detail how you
derived the conclusions or argue about it; this is part of the main body of the text. However, you
have to indicate enough details about your study so that a specialist reader has a good
understanding of your contributions detailed in the report.
Page | 34
UTB INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT HANDBOOK

The Table of Contents lists all sections and sub-sections and uses the same numbering system
as the main body of the report. The preliminaries are not listed. Remember -- ease of use is
paramount

4.2 Main Text

The main text has to include

Introduction
Body
Discussion, Conclusion and Recommendations

The Introduction defines the subject of the report so that the reader is prepared for the text that
follows. Here you can outline the company and/or department for which you worked, and you
can summarize the work you performed at the company. Setting the background is important
because the department member evaluating the report may not be familiar with the detailed
operations of your employer. Of course, there is no need to give a highly detailed account. The
information on the site layout and number of employees would only be given if it relates to later
parts of the report.

The second part of the background should outline the history or objectives leading up to the
project or study detailed in the report. The purpose of this part is to argue why the specific
project or the study outlined in the report is of interest. From this second part of the background,
the reader can now anticipate the objectives of the study. The objective or goal of the study
outlined in the report should be crisply stated and conceptually separated from the background
and the method used.

An introduction answers the question, ``Why was the specific work or study done?''. Keep your
introduction brief, but remember to outline the background and scope of the report and give a
clear statement of objectives of the study. Ask a question that you will try to answer in this
study. After reading the introduction, your reader should be prepared for the report that follows,
and remember that a reader will be looking for sections dealing with the issues addressed in the
introduction

The Body is the longest part of your report. It is here that you develop your theme by examining
the problem, your findings and their meaning. This body of the report should be formatted
appropriately with sections and headings to guide the reader through the report.

Although every report will have different section headings, there are certain themes which run
through all reports - a description of the methods used to acquire data, a summary of the data
obtained and finally a discussion of the interpretation of the data. In this context the word
``data" can have such different meanings as actual scientific measurements, textbook
information, manufacturer's literature, plant logbooks, financial statements, opinions of experts
or employees and so on.

Conclusions and recommendations are often confused but they are not the same thing.
Conclusions are derived from research outlined in the main body and do not introduce new
Page | 35
UTB INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT HANDBOOK

material. They may be presented in a sequence of two or three sentence paragraphs. The
conclusions should specifically answer the questions raised in the introduction or conclude how
the goals or objectives stated in the introduction have been met.

Recommendations are proposed plans of action for the future. They are suggestions following
logically from the conclusions. Remember that conclusions deal with the present,
recommendations with the future. Each should be presented on a separate page.

Appendix (or appendices) provides your reader with supporting information that elaborates on,
but is not essential to, the development of your theme, or any information that is necessary to
justify your statements and which are too lengthy to include in the main text without interrupting
the line of thought developed there. The appendices are identified by numbers or letters. Do not
include appendices that have not been cited in the text.

Reference Material

The reference material can include

1. References
2. Glossary
3. Nomenclature
4. Appendices

References: lists all those books and journals, and if necessary web pages, to which you
specifically refer in your report. Materials from other authors and diagrams that you have not
drawn should be acknowledged explicitly when they are first used in your report. The references
should follow a well-established and consistent style.

It is very unlikely that no references are needed in your report. References have to include links
to any information that is coming from external sources. This includes data or any other material
on which your analysis is based. Any statement has to be justified. For example, statements like
“The internet is expanding exponentially” need to be justified. How do you know that? You have
to refer to the source of this information or back-up your statement on your own account if this is
a novel observation.

In the former case you have to make sure that you agree with the statement, or state otherwise (in
which case you would have to justify your opinion.) If asked about any detail of the report you
must be able to answer all the questions or be able to point to the right references.

The Glossary is only needed when you have used specialized terms, mathematical symbols or
professional jargon in an extensive way. If you have used specialized terms only occasionally, it
is acceptable to define it within your text. This same rule applies for the Nomenclature. It is
only required if a large number of symbols are used throughout the report
