CHAPTER 1
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO SIWES
Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) was designed with the responsibility of
promoting and encouraging the acquisition of skills in industry and commerce with the view of
generating a pool of trained indigenous man power sufficient to meet the needs of the economy.
The most important asset of any industrial organization depends on the technical competence of
its manpower for the operation and maintenance of its non-human assets and resources, hence,
the need for SIWES.
SIWES was established by ITF in 1973 to solve the problem of lack of adequate practical skills
preparatory for employment in industries by Nigerian graduates of tertiary institutions. The
Scheme exposes students to industry based skills necessary for a smooth transition from the
classroom to the world of work. It affords students of tertiary institutions the opportunity of
being familiarized and exposed to the needed experience in handling machinery and equipment
which are usually not available in the educational institutions.
Participation in SIWES has become a necessary pre- condition for the award of Diploma and
Degree certificates in specific disciplines in most institutions of higher learning in the country, in
accordance with the education policy of government. Operators – The ITF, the coordinating
agencies (NUC, NCCE, NBTE), employers of labour and the institutions. Funding – The Federal
Government of Nigeria.
Beneficiaries – Undergraduate students of the following: Agriculture, Engineering, Technology,

Environmental, Science, Education, Medical Science and Pure and Applied Sciences.
1.2 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF SIWES
The operational standards and guides for the program is such that students are posted to an
organized establishment, either private or public, where activities of such organization are
relevant to the student’s course of study. At various levels, the students are meant to undergo this
period of training to enable them relate the theoretical knowledge taught in school to the
practicality outside there.
This report is aimed at providing detailed records of activities carried out during the industrial
training with a view to assessing the relevance of SIWES to field. The aim of SIWES is to
expose student to the working environment that are peculiar to each of their different professions
outside the lecture rooms in order that they may acquire practical experience that would be of
immense benefit to them in the nearest future when they begin to practice these professions.
