1.0 INTRODUCTION
SIWES (Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme) was established by ITF (Industrial Training Fund) to solve the problem of inadequate practical skills on the student’s part thereby making them to be prepared for employment into the different industrial sectors of the nations after their graduation from the tertiary institution. Participating in this training exposes the students to the world after higher education. These includes introduction into practical field of their study to be expose to different machines and equipments that are not readily available in their various institutions of higher learning and expose them to human relation.
Taking part in SIWES has become a necessary condition for the award of Diploma and Degree Certificates in different disciplines in various institutions of Higher education in Nigeria. Co-coordinating agencies apart from ITF including; NUC, NCCE, NBTE, Employers of labor and the institutions.
Funding – The federal government of Nigeria funds ITF for industrial training attachment program.
Beneficiaries – Undergraduates students of the following: Agriculture, Engineering, Environmental science, education, Medical Science, pure and applied science, including natural sciences.
Duration- The duration for different tertiary institutions is Four months for polytechnics and colleges of education and six months for universities.
Numbers of participating institutions are;
Universities 59
Polytechnics 85
College of education 62
1.1 Objectives Of SIWES
This training has many objectives which includes:
- Prepares the student for the work situation they are likely to meet after graduation.
- To provide an avenue for students in Nigerian institutions to acquire industrial skills and experience in their area of study.
- To make the transition from the universities to the world of work easier and enhance their chances of a job after graduation.
- To provide students with the opportunity to apply their theoretical skills and knowledge into real work situation thereby bridging the gap between university work and actual work.
1.2 Impact of Industrial Training
The direct effects of industrial training on manpower development are discussed below:
- Interest Stimulation: During I.T, the experience you have will help you to stimulate your interest in any chosen profession.
- Confidential Building: It will expose you so much to work along with other co-workers and how to relate with your co-workers. It helps you to stand after school as a scientist.
- Human Relation Dimension Business: It affords the students the opportunity to understand other non-technical dimensions of business and the importance of human relations in a typical business environment, with this understanding; it assists in making a complete professionalism out of life.
The industrial training is a vital one in which all qualified students participate for six (6) months. Students are expected to acquire the basic skills in their areas of organization of attachment.
My industrial training took place at Project development institute (PRODA) Enugu State. PRODA is a federal institute for research and development owned by Federal Government of Nigeria. The institute has helped in training many industrial training students since its existence.
1.3 History of Project Development Institute (PRODA) Enugu
What is now known as the project development institute PRODA was formally the east central state project development agency (ECSPDA), a cooperate body established by the erstwhile east central state government to promote the establishment of new industrial project through laboratory and pilot investigations to actual construction of large scale commercial plant, utilizing local raw materials and indigenous man power. It was envisaged that home grown industries could be launched very cheaply in keeping with the agency’s motto “industry through self-reliance”. With the creation of Anambra and Imo state from the former east central state in 1976, the agency was then made a parastetal under the Nigerian Council for Science and Technology (NCST). The agency was later renamed PROJECT DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE with its acronym, PRODA still retained.
PRODA was created in 1980 by the federal government of Nigerian as a research institute under the ministry of science and technology.
