CHAPTER FOUR
4.1 CONCLUSION
In view of the student industrial work experience scheme has prepared and also given me the
adequate practical background I needed for my course of study.
CHALLENGES
Financial challenges: student are not paid despite working for extra hours
Cost of transport: due to distance to place of work from my place of residence, transport has
always be a vital challenge since we are not being paid at the end of the month.
Managerial challenge: despite your endless effort to teach the student, management still give you
more tasks to do.

4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS:
In view of the relevance of SIWES program, it is important that it is sustained by the federal
government through the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) as it exposes the student to work tools,
facilities, and equipment that may not be available in their respective institutions in relation to
their course of study.
To this end, I recommend that the following under-listed points should be implemented:
The program co-coordinators from the industrial Training Fund in the various institutions and the
Federal capital territory (FCT) should ensure that the students are placed in the relevant
department in these organizations.
There should be proper supervision of the student concerned by both the ITF and institution-
based supervisors.
Most of the government institutions should make it as a service to pay a monthly stipend to the
students concerned.
Improvement of allowance and free transport services for student on attachment to various
organizations.
The companies should put in place all the necessary facilities needed to enhance the knowledge
of the student in the industrial attachment.
Proper placement of the student for such program by the industrial training department of each
institution through creating a strong alliance with different companies.
