1.0. INTRODUCTION TO SIWES

SIWES is an acronym which stands for Student’s Industrial Work Experience Scheme.

It is a skill training program designed to expose and prepare students of Universities,

polytechnics and Colleges of heath techno logy, colleges agriculture and colleges of

education for work situation they are likely to meet after graduation. It affords students

the opportunity of familiarizing and exposing themselves to the needed experience in

handling equipment that are usually not available in their institutions.

Before the establishment of SIWES, there was growing concerns that graduates of our

institution of higher learning lacked the adequate practical background studies

preparatory for employment in establishment. Therefore, the Industrial Training Fund

(ITF) initiated, designed and introduced SIWES in the year 1973 to acquaint students

with the skills of handling employer’s equipment and machinery. It funded sold by ITF

in its initial stage but with draw venue in 1978 due to financial constraints, the Federal

Government therefore handed the scheme to the NUC and NBTE in 1979 but was

reverted to the ITF by the federal government in November 1984 and the administration

was effectively taken over by ITF in July 1985 with the funding sold by the federal

government

1.2. AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF SIWES

maternity, Gboko Northwest beside Bay’s Garden, around number 45

Gyado hospital road, GRA Benue state Nigeria with the background, aim and

objectives, role of SIWES significance of the SIWES programmed Management of

4.3. CHALLENGES

 No accommodation

4.2. SUGGESTION

Having had the experience for four (4) months I suggested that grease should be added on

the elbow in terms of students finance as well as learning equipment in higher institution

of learning

xix
4.3. RECOMMENDATION

Having had all this experience and directives with the industrial Training fund (ITF)

officers with the assistance from staff NKST college of health technology Mkar and with

massive contribution from the staff of Baki clinic and maternity , GRA gboko

therefore recommend, based on the finding that:

 The government on her part should try to paid student at the completion of the program

 This program should be a continue process it should not end on our time

 ITF in corroboration with institution should extend the SIWES duration form four (4)

months to at least six (6) months for student to at least spend two weeks in each unit they

are posted

 The government and private owned hospitals and clinics management should show great

interest in the employment of student who are qualified from this training program of

SIWES

4.4. CONCLUSION

In conclusion, I hereby said it was indeed a great experience I had during my smooth 4

months SIWES program at Baki clinic and maternity,Gboko Benue state. In all the

section/Units of Baki clinic and maternity Gboko, where I performed my

practical’s, I established and exemplary relationship with all staff. As such, it motives

than to reciprocate this gesture through their uncovered endeavor to carry me along and

xx
answer my entire question on every clinical matters. The SIWES training in order to

develop practice skills
