Brief Introduction

The students’ industrial work and experience scheme (SIWES) is a skill training programme that constitutes part of the minimum academic standards for the qualification of Degrees, National Diploma and Higher National Diploma in all the Nigerian Monotechnics, Polytechnics and Universities.

This programme is designed to bridge the gap between theory and the practical nature of engineering, technology, medical, agriculture, sciences and other management programmes in the Nigerian tertiary institutions.

The major aims of SIWES are to expose students to professional working methods relevant to their course of study, the procedures, working principles and maintenance of machines and the general safety of individuals at work as well as the safety of the organizations. The minimum duration of 400 level students studying engineering in the Nigerian Universities is 24 weeks which is about six (6) months.
