 CHAPTER ONE

Background of siwes

Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a human capital formation programme
through industrial attachment for which students are expected to have a practical experience on the
basis of theories and principles acquired in the teaching-learning process. However, the prevalence of
the inability of participants of SIWES secure employment after the programme casts doubt on the
continuing relevance of SIWES to the contemporary industrial development drive in Nigeria.Human
resource development constitutes the most critical factor in the development process and the quality
must therefore be inherent in the productive capacity of people. Human societies in the quest for
development have identified and developed institutional as well as structured training and educational
programmes as major avenues for processing human beings to acquire the necessary skills and technical
competence for their roles in the development of the society.

IMPORTANT OF SEWES

It is aimed at exposing students to machines and equipment, professional work methods and ways of
safeguarding the work areas and workers in industries, offices, laboratories, hospitals and other
organizations.

OBJECTIVE OF SEWES

Prepare students for the Industrial Work situation they are likely to experience after graduation. Expose
students to work methods and techniques of handling equipment and machinery that may not be
available in.

Olugbenga Obadara, the founder of the station, launched it in 2016 and wascommissioned by the Alake
of Egabland, Adedotun Gbadebo inAbeokuta. However, his highness was impressed and said
theestablishment of the station would provide job opportunities topeople of the state. His highness who
was the first person tospeak live on the station, commended Olugbenga Obadara forhis initiative, and
called on other Ogun State indigenes toemulate him. The creation of this station was also
consideredbecause of a station's bias nature towards Obadara as hewanted an advert of his campaign to
be publicized after hemade payment to the radio station but the radio station refusedto publicize it nor
give a refund which is contrary tocommercialization and professional ethics.One of the majorpolicies of
Sweet FM is to be unbiased, adding that it wouldensure professionalism in its operation and being

Challengies face

Students industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) is a laudable skills acquisition programme
which is geared towards technological development of the nation. However, the scheme cannot be said
to have achieved the desired objectives due to many factors ranging from the structural causes of
performance problems that have plagued the system, but also increasing number of students and
institutions which place undue pressure on the few surviving industrial organizations and most students
on attachment in places of convenience without giving considerations to the relevance of the workplace
to their course of studies. The study is therefore to determine the influence of SIWES on skills
development, utilization and the incidence of graduate occupational misfit in Nigeria.

In addition after starting the assignment I face challenge of not coming to late and and dressing in a
cooperate . after two weeks of resume to place of assignmentand one day there is no money for food

Conclusion and Recommendations

The Federal Government’s efforts at improving the nation’s technical know-how and increasing
the efficiency of middle level manpower are not restricted to the industries alone. Efforts were made
to involve institutions of higher learning and hence the birth of. Based on the findings of this
study, it is evident that skills development and utilization cannot be achieved in isolation, rather,
the relevant stakeholders must be committed to the course and be fully involved, which means
students and teachers form institutions of higher learning, corporate industries and commercial
bodies, and Federal Government must be involved. This cooperative machinery between
industrial and institutions of higher learning willproduce effective results under the supervision
and control of the Industrial Training Fund (ITF).

It is recommended that: Government should devote sufficient financial resources to all

levels and aspects of education to enhance effective running of educational programmes
especially SIWES. The Polytechnics should be encouraged to establish technological
development centres to translate innovations from staff and students to goods and services. This
will enable them fulfill their basic Social .
