ADVENT OF SIWES
The growing concern among our industrialists that graduates of our institutions of Higher learning lack adequate practical background studies preparatory for employment in industries, led to the formation of students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) by ITF in 1973/1974 (Information and Guideline for SIWES, 2002).

Objectives of SIWES
Some of the objectives of SIWES are:
