 ABSTRACT
Student industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) is a program that was designed for student
of technology, engineering and other related field in Nigeria tertiary institution including
universities, polytechnics and college education. The innovation of this program is initiated by
agreement between institutions of higher learning, their accrediting agencies, industrial and
commerce. SIWES program is aimed at lodging the gap between theory and practical. Therefore,
it is mandatory for all graduating students at ND (national diploma) level of the field previously
mentioned to actively participate in the work experience scheme. It is for this purpose that the
federal ministry of education introduced student industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) for
students in institutions of higher learning.
