CHAPTER ONE

BACKGROUND
In the earlier stage of science and technology education in
Nigeria, students were graduating from their respective
institutions without any technical knowledge or working
experience. It was in this view that students undergoing
science and technology related courses were mandated for
students in different institutions in view of widening their
horizons so as to enable them have technical knowledge or
working experience before graduating from their various
institutions.

The Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES)

was established by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) in 1973 to
enable students of tertiary institutions have technical
knowledge of industrial work base on their course of study
before the completion of their program in their respective
institutions. The scheme was designed to expose students to
industrial environment and enable them develop occupational
competencies so that they can readily contribute their quota to
national economic and technological development after
graduation. The major backgbround behind the embarkment of
students in SIWES was to expose them to the industrial
environment and enable them develop occupational
competencies so that they can readily contribute their quota to
national economic and technological development after
graduation. The major benefit accruing to students who

 lOMoARcPSD|29012061

participate conscientiously in Students Industrial Work

Experience Scheme (SIWES) are the skills and competencies
they acquire. The relevant production skills remain a part of the
recipients of industrial training as life-long assets which cannot
be taken away from them. This is because the knowledge and
skills acquired through training and internalized and become
relevant when required to perform jobs or functions.

1.1. AIM AND OBJECTIVE

The Industrial Training Funds policy Document No. 1 of
1973 which established SIWES outlined the objectives of the
scheme. The objectives are to:

1. Provide an avenue for students in higher institutions of

learning to acquire industrial skills and experiences during
their course of study.
2. Prepare students for industrial work situations that they
are likely to meet after graduation.
3. Expose students to work methods and techniques in
handling equipment and machinery that may not be
available in their institutions.
4. Make the transition from school to the world of work easier
and enhance students’ contacts for later job placement.
5. Enlist and strengthen employers’ involvement in the entire
educational process and prepare students for employment
in Industry and Commerce (Information and Guideline for
SIWES, 2002).

CHAPTER TWO

2.0 I.C.T DEPARTMENT

Information Technology has gained popularity in the past few
years. It has become an integral part of an organization. The
reason behind is not a mystery.

The use of technology has increased over the years eventually

leading to an increase in demand for Information technology.
Nowadays, the IT department is a must for every organization.

The IT industry was not a sector that attracted people towards

it but the notion changed and it has changed drastically. Now,
people prefer IT as a career option.

Information Technology is the use of computers to store,

retrieve, share, and manipulate data or information. For some
people, IT may be just the people they seek help from to get
their technical problems resolved.

2.1 FUNCTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT

The IT department contributes significantly to an
organization’s success that has three broad functions to
perform within an organization. They are:

1. Governance
It alludes to the execution of operational boundaries for
working units and people's utilization of IT frameworks,
engineering, and organizations.

10 | P a g e

Downloaded by Sagir Musa Sani ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|29012061

In layman's terms, they authorize the principles about how you

and your group can utilize the organization's innovation and
what you can utilize it for.

2. Infrastructure

It refers to all physical components essential for an IT system.

It includes hardware, network, and circuitry of equipment
according to the needs and size of the organization.

3. Functionality

It perhaps is the most important and viable task an IT

department performs and this is the reason an IT department is
recognized and remembered by others in an organization.

It refers to creating and maintaining operational applications;

developing, securing, and storing electronic data that belongs
to the organization; and assisting in the use of software and
data management to all functional areas of the organization.

4. Network Contingencies

A network failure can have significant repercussions- not just

within the organization but also on the outside entities that
take services of the organization. Moreover,

 It can affect the outside entities in a way that this situation

can portray the organization as incapable of serving them
and ultimately they may lose faith in the company.

 So, what the IT department does is it puts a crisis plan in

place that can be implemented when the system goes
down. The plan may be to switch to an alternative system

 lOMoARcPSD|29012061

until the necessary repairs are completed or have a

network backup.

 Through the upkeep and arranging of an organizational

framework, the IT division must manufacture proficient
associations with outside sellers and industry specialists.

 This enables the office representatives to play out their

obligations all the more proficiently as well as remain
ahead on the most recent innovation that may be fruitful
to the organization for which they work.

5. Application Development

Regularly, organizations see the principal part of the IT division

as making applications that serve its center business needs.
The correct applications allow a business to be imaginative,
more gainful, productive, and to push forward of its rivals.

 From multiple points of view, this makes the IT division

urgent in driving a business forward.

 The work important to make the applications that can

separate a business from the others requires an IT office
with developers, researchers, interface designers,
database administrators, analyzers, and different experts.

6. Communication

12 | P a g e

Downloaded by Sagir Musa Sani ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|29012061

A great many people know that the IT division is liable for the
achievement of PC activities and other data advancements
inside a business.

 Notwithstanding, the same number of new types of

electronic communication have become staples of the
cutting edge office, IT offices have been taking on a more
prominent function in the specialized side of organization
correspondence.

 This incorporates highlight point-to-point phone calls,

conference calls, and video and web conferences, just as
less immediate types of electronic correspondence like
organization drives, email frameworks, and secure
workers.

 The IT office should completely see how these frameworks

function and collaborate with one another, and is
answerable for guaranteeing that these frameworks stay
operational consistently.

CHAPTER FOUR

4.0 PROBLEM FACING THE DEPARTMENT AND

SOLUTION
There are lot of problem that come up in the department, but
the main tangible one is the losing of data. This occur as the
result of given out many data (file) to many department..

At the end, they finally find a way of the problem mention and
others. about the roughing of file and loss of information, the
department decided to have a cabinet so the file can be kept in
it, and arrange it according to the file number and department.

But as for the other one, the department create a book and
name it Movement of File. That is it contain record on where,
and when the file go to. So when a file is missing they will
quickly go through the movement of file to sort out the
problem.

4.1 PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED DURING THE PROGRAM

The main I have during the programme is about the transport
fare, I sometime late to the office. This happen when i trek to
the office and my place is far from the office.

My suggestion for the organization is that they should try to

give their fully support to the admin department.
