INTRODUCTION

1.1 THE INDUSTRIAL TRAINING FUND (I.T.F)

In October 1971, the federal government of Nigeria established the Industrial Training Fund (I.T.F). In its policy statement no.1 published in 1973, a clause was inserted dealing with the issue of practical skills among the locally trained professionals in the tertiary institutions especially the Universities of Technology, Monotechnics, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education and Technical Colleges. Section 15 of the policy statement states clearly that “Great emphasis will be placed on assisting certain products of the post-secondary school system to adapt or orientate easily to their possible post-graduation job environments”, subsequently leading to the launch of a scheme known as the Student’s Industrial work Experience Scheme (SIWES).

The S.I.W.E.S. was launched in 1973 by the Industrial Training Fund (I.T.F) as a program designed to impart the undergraduate of the nation’s tertiary institutions studying various professional courses with the practical methods of performing professional functions to real life situations on site, in the office or even the factory and how they apply themselves mentally, intellectually and physically in relation to what they have been taught in the classrooms theoretically. It works with the following professional bodies to function effectively across the tertiary institutions nationwide; thus, equipping the students with the necessary skills and technical knowledge to make them highly competitive and professional individuals in the Labor Market.
