This Training expose me to the real world of software development, this bridges between the theoretical knowledge acquired in school and practical skills necessary in software development. I will recommend that the duration of time spent during this training should be extended, this will allows students to acquire more skills and also have enough time to execute more projects. Also, I will recommend that SIWES and the prospective Institutions should monitor the welfare of their students while on their course of training, reason because some students face sexual abuse, maltreatment etc but keep it to themselves reason because their fear to loose their internship.
