Participating In SIWES The Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES), also known as Industrial Training is a compulsory skills training programme designed to expose and prepare students of Nigerian Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, Colleges of Technology and Colleges of Agriculture, for the industrial work situation they’re likely to meet after graduation. The scheme also affords students the opportunity of familiarizing and exposing themselves to the needed experience in handling equipment and machinery that are usually not available in their institution. Before the establishment of the scheme, there was a growing concern among industrialists, that graduates of institutions of higher learning lacked adequate practical background studies preparatory for employment in industries. Thus, employers were of the opinion that the theoretical education in higher institutions wasn’t responsive to the needs of the employers of labour. SIWES introduction, initiation and design was done by the Industrial Training Fund (I.T.F) in 1993 to acquaint students with the skills of handling employer’s equipment and machinery. The Industrial Training Fund (I.T.F) solely funded the scheme during its formative years. However, due to nancial constraints, the fund withdrew from the scheme in 1978. The Federal Government, noting the signi cance of the skills training handed the management of the scheme to both the National Universities Commission (N.U.C) and the National Board for Technical Education (N.B.T.E) in 1979. https://siwesbeginner.com/siwes-introduction/ 1/8 5/17/2021 SIWES Introduction, Aim & Objectives In Nigeria (2021) The management and implementation of the scheme was however reverted to the I.T.F by the Federal Government in November, 1984 and the administration was effectively taken over by the Industrial Training Fund in July 1985, with the funding solely borne by the Federal Government.

Signs Of Preparation & Success Of Students In The SIWES Programme If you want to determine your level of preparedness for the programme this year, then this very post section is for you. You’re about to know the signs that shows or determine if you’re actually ready in securing possible placement and will eventually get your desired grade and performances in your training. You’ll also get to know some costly mistakes you really have to avoid in order to prevent problems. https://siwesbeginner.com/siwes-introduction/ 2/8 5/17/2021 SIWES Introduction, Aim & Objectives In Nigeria (2021) Finally, you’ll know some important questions you’ve to sincerely answer by yourself before, during and after your industrial training in Nigeria. Let’s Go….. 1. Con dence This is the rst sign that shows whether you are prepared or not. Your con dence level determines your competence. Are you really ready to explore the other part of life such as: working in an organization with your colleagues, abiding by the companies rules and regulations, experiencing and handling the labour market in general? Are you ready to learn and contribute to the various sectors in the country? 2. SIWES Orientation Do you really know about the scope of SIWES in Nigeria? Have you been told and directed by your school on how to easily pay and collect your logbook, forms etc? Have you learnt how to easily write and forward your application letters? If yes, you’re getting prepared. 3. Sending Of SIWES Application Letters Most Nigerian institutions gives their I.T students already prepared SIWES application letters so that they will print more copies, enter their details and send to their desired course-related companies. But, sometimes the I.T students may have to write it by themselves. So, which category are you in? Having paid and collected your logbook, forms etc. and have gotten good knowledge about the programme, have you started visiting the correct locations of your desired course-related rms and submitting your application letters while waiting for possible feed backs? If yes, you’re seriously getting ready because time waits for no one. 4. Acceptance & Commencement Of Your Training Now that you’ve been accepted and probably commenced your industrial training, are you willing to abide by the rules and regulations of the rm? Are you actually carrying out activities, projects, jobs that are related to your course of study in school in the section(s) you’ve been assigned to? For Example: As an O ce Management or Public Admin I.T student in the bank, hope you’re working in the Customer Care Department and not in the Security Department? OR As a Biochemistry I.T student working in a hospital, hope you’re mainly working in the laboratory section and not in the reception room? https://siwesbeginner.com/siwes-introduction/ 3/8 5/17/2021 SIWES Introduction, Aim & Objectives In Nigeria (2021) You really deserve to know better. 5. Forwarding Of Your S.C.A.F Form Have you completely ll and sent your Student Commencement Attachment Form to the ITF Area O ce in the state your training is carried out? 6. Signing & Stamping Of Your SIWES Logbook While at your workplace, you’ve to ask and verify from your Industry-Based-Supervisor when your logbook will be signed and stamped. Will it be daily, weekly, monthly or at the end of your industrial training? Do you know the correct way in lling in your SIWES logbook? You’ll also have to always be punctual to your workplace, because you may not know the exact days the University-Based-Supervisor assigned to you by your school will probably visit. If you’re always punctual, hardworking and committed to your work, you won’t only get your desired grade and performances in the programme, but you’ll also succeed in life. And I mean it! 7. ITF Form 8 Now that you’re probably through with your industrial training, is your logbook completely lled i.e. if your training was stipulated for six months, is your logbook completely lled up to the required six months and not below or above? Has your logbook been thoroughly signed and stamped by your Industry-Based-Supervisor? Have you then ll in your ITF Form 8? Has your Employer signed and stamped after lling in his/her own section? » Industry-Based-Supervisor and Employer are not always the same thing or person. I will clearly explain… As a Biochemistry student, I was opportune to undergo my own industrial training in a private hospital in Owerri. I worked in the laboratory section under the lab. scientist who was my industry-based-supervisor. He was responsible for teaching, guiding, monitoring me and signing, stamping on my logbook. As you can see, he was just my supervisor, but not actually the owner of the hospital. So, the Employer’s Section in your ITF Form 8 has to be ll, signed and stamped by the owner of the rm you undergo your training, because the questions in that section on the form can only be answered and approved by the owner/manager. If your industry-based-supervisor happens to be the owner of the rm, then there is no problem at all. Now that your ITF Form 8 has been ll in by you, signed and stamped by your employer, then you’ll have to send it to the ITF Area O ce in the state your training is carried out. » Your university-based-supervisor has to ll in his/her own section, but you don’t have to worry if you don’t have one. https://siwesbeginner.com/siwes-introduction/ 4/8 5/17/2021 SIWES Introduction, Aim & Objectives In Nigeria (2021) Just submit it like that as far as it has been lled by both you and your employer. While at the ITF Area O ce, your ITF Form 8 will be cross-checked before your logbook will then be signed and stamped by any of the o cials. After that, you’ll be given back this form together with your logbook which you’ll submit to probably your lecturers/department when you return to your school. 8. SIWES Report Have you learnt and know the proper way in writing a good & presentable SIWES report? Do you know the recommended format to use in your report writing? Have you seen a report sample before? If yes, you’re really aiming for success! 9. Oral Presentation Are you actually prepared to be interviewed by your lecturers/supervisors so as to know if actually you participated and bene ted from the training at all? If you’re ready and prepared at this stage, then the sky is already your starting point in your academic pursuit.

Mc del Onyemauwa October 28, 2019 at 1:52 am Reply You’re welcome. Paul October 16, 2019 at 10:04 am Reply You mentioned that the FORM 8 must be signed by the employer and not the industry based supervisor but in my case am currently doing my IT in a bank…Who is supposed to sign it? and does it also apply to the FORM SPE 1? Mc del Onyemauwa October 19, 2019 at 12:48 am Reply The person to sign is the one who has the ability or capability to employ and pay you full-time as a worker in the bank aside your I.T. The Industry based supervisor may just be a worker (not the C.E.O or Managing Director) in the bank. In some cases, they can still sign the FORM 8 on behalf of the Employer.
