strategic, management and also recruitment, selection and
orientation process.
In conclusion, I worked in the entire department and carried
out all my activities perfectly well.

5.2 SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF THE SCHEME

With a view to improving the student industrial work experience
scheme, I suggest that the stakeholders in charge of the scheme
should liaise with some companies in the field of study of the
courses offered in school such that students are sent to these
companies for this program. This will help to reduce the length of
time student spend in looking for placement.

5.3 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

While giving kudos for the pros benefitted during the course of this
program, I would also give some knocks as the programmed was
without cons. The first issue I had was that I usually closed late. I
couldn’t close the time I was expected to and there was nothing I
could do about it.
The next was that there were no funds in the sense that the money I
was getting from transport fare was not even enough compared to
what I spend every day and this really affected me because I had to
always rely on my parents for money every day.

11
Also, I was used as if I was a staff, I resumed when other staffs
resume and I close even later than them. I did more work I was not
even seen as a trainee but a worker so due to fatigue I almost fell off
the Staircase.

5.4 SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

SUMMARY
In summary, the student industrial work experience scheme
program is very worthwhile one for students in the higher
institui9tions. It bridges the gap between the theoretical knowledge
impaired in me in school and the practical aspect of it.
The program also gave me an avenue to apply the prior knowledge I
got from my lecturers in school in real life setting.

CONCLUSION
The student industrial work experience scheme was an educative
and interesting one; it gave avenues for learning in all ramifications
for me in the Organisation. The program exposed me to the
relevance of self reliability
The four month SIWES program helped in making me achieve great
things and has connected me with people of high substance, and
lastly, the program is a welcomed idea and I strongly support that it
should remain in the

12
RECOMMENDATION
 Industries should make sure well trained and experienced
staffs are employed
 The industries should provide adequate facilities to make the
program enjoyable and worthwhile for students.
 More so the industries should employ staffs that are read to
prove their worth

5.2 SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF THE SCHEME

With a view to improving the student industrial work experience
scheme, I suggest that the stakeholders in charge of the scheme
should liaise with some companies in the field of study of the
courses offered in school such that students are sent to these
companies for this program. This will help to reduce the length of
time student spend in looking for placement.

5.3 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

While giving kudos for the pros benefitted during the course of this
program, I would also give some knocks as the programmed was
without cons. The first issue I had was that I usually closed late. I
couldn’t close the time I was expected to and there was nothing I
could do about it.
The next was that there were no funds in the sense that the money I
was getting from transport fare was not even enough compared to
what I spend every day and this really affected me because I had to
always rely on my parents for money every day.

50
Also, I was used as if I was a staff, I resumed when other staffs
resume and I close even later than them. I did more work I was not
even seen as a trainee but a worker so due to fatigue I almost fell off
the Staircase.

5.4 SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

SUMMARY
In summary, the student industrial work experience scheme
program is very worthwhile one for students in the higher
institui9tions. It bridges the gap between the theoretical knowledge
impaired in me in school and the practical aspect of it.
The program also gave me an avenue to apply the prior knowledge I
got from my lecturers in school in real life setting.

CONCLUSION
The student industrial work experience scheme was an educative
and interesting one; it gave avenues for learning in all ramifications
for me in the Organisation. The program exposed me to the
relevance of self reliability
The four month SIWES program helped in making me achieve great
things and has connected me with people of high substance, and
lastly, the program is a welcomed idea and I strongly support that it
should remain in the

RECOMMENDATION
 Industries should make sure well trained and experienced
staffs are employed
 The industries should provide adequate facilities to make the
program enjoyable and worthwhile for students.

prove their worth
