 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Firstly, with every sense of humility, I give my sincere appreciation to Almighty God
from whom all knowledge, wisdom and intelligence are given to humanity for making it possible
for me to accomplish my SIWES programme.

Education is an instrument of change, for human emancipation from ignorance,

superstition and enslavement. My parents made sure they planted this in me. I am grateful to my
parents, Mr. and Mrs.GBADEYANKAfor their love, care, encouragement and financial support.
I pray that Almighty God will grant them long life and hearty health to reap the fruit of their
labour.

Words alone cannot express my enthusiasm to my SIWES supervisor and departmental lecturers
for their parental advice and tutelage. May God almighty continue to bless you all?

 CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION

This chapter gives a brief history of SIWES, its aims and objectives, as well as a short
narrative on my application and posting. It also introduces intelligent solution providers
(ISP) of Computer, where I had my SIWES training.

1.1 ABOUT STUDENTS INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE SCHEME

The student work experience scheme (SIWES) is a worldwide program practiced in

countries like Japan, Australia, USA, Europe, and in African countries too. It is popularly known
as co-operative education and referred to as sandwich in Europe. It is a six (6) months students
industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) taken in the third year of the degree program, where
the students go to various establishments related to their course of study.

The program was initially introduced in Nigeria by the Industrial Training Fund (I.T.F.)
which was established under Decree 47 of 1972 by the Supreme Military Council, headed by
General Yakubu Gowon. The Decree was billed to take effect from 31st March, 1974 and had as
its core objective, the gradual reduction of the percentage of foreign participation in most of
Nigeria’s economic activities, accompanied by a systematic cooperation of locally oriented
skilled manpower into the vast economic sector.

One of the key functions of the ITF is to work as cooperative body with industry and
commerce where students in institutions of higher learning can undertake mid-career work
experience attachment in industries which are compatible with student’s area of study. The
students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a skill Training program designed to
expose and prepare students for the Industrial work situation which they are likely to meet after
graduation. Participation in SIWES has become a necessary pre-condition for the award of
diploma and degree certificate in specific disciplines in most institutions of higher learning in the
country in accordance with the education policy of government.

graduate.

1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF SIWES

 Provide an avenue for students in institutions of higher learning to acquire industrial

skills and experience in their approved course of study and also by interacting with
people with more experience in the field under consideration.
 Prepare students for the industrial work situation which they are likely to meet after
graduation.
 Expose students to work methods and techniques in handling equipment and machinery
that are mostly not available in their various institutions.
 Provide students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge in real world situation
thereby reducing the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical work.
 Enlist and strengthen employers’ involvement in the entire educational process and
prepare students for employment in Industry and Commerce.

3.0 INTRODUCTION TO WEB DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and
maintenance of websites. The different areas of web design include web graphic design; user
interface design (UI design); authoring, including standardized code and proprietary software;
user experience design (UX design); and search engine optimization. Often many individuals
will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will
cover them all. The term "web design" is normally used to describe the design process relating to
the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing markup. Web design partially
overlaps web engineering in the broader scope of web development. Web designers are expected
to have an awareness of usability and be up to date with web accessibility guidelines.

Web development is the work involved in developing a website for the Internet or an
intranet. Web development can range from developing a simple single static page of plain text to
complex web applications, electronic businesses, and social network services.

 CHAPTER FOUR
4.0 RELEVANCE OF THE EXPERIENCE GAINED BY STUDENT DURING THE
PROGRAMME

Without mincing fact, Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) sustains a
great relevance for tertiary institution students during internship. Besides exposure to the
technical Know-how of things are been done in industrial setting which far differs from what is
being taught within the four walls of classroom. This will undoubtedly unravel completely or at
least lessen the demarcation and prevailing contrast in terms of work force and output between
industrial staff and newly employed graduates.

Unlike an intern, I was given a warm welcome on my first day atBabeama Connect. This
was followed by my introduction to other staff and orientation on the activities/ functions of the
organization.

In sequel to that, I was also introduced to other departments’ i.e Marketing department,
human resources department, amongst others.

During my internship, I functioned relatively in some of the departments/units in the

organization such that I was able to gather several computer science related experience which
will abet my academic career and pursuit

CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED

1. Financial scar

2. Starkness of industrial staff

3. Proximity of industrial location

4. Limited internship perio

 CHAPTER FIVE

5.0 CONCLUSION

The SIWES program expected to be undergone by all students in the school of applied
science in all tertiary institution in Nigeria.

I therefore deeply appreciate the industrial training of my school (Kwara State

Polytechnic, Ilorin) for involving themselves in such a worldwide program. The importance of
this training cannot be over emphasized industrial training by some operations carried out during
the program.

5.1 RECOMMENDATION

I like to use this medium to explore the federal Government at all stage to take this
SIWES program more seriously seen by the students of applied science as a virtual improvement
in future of technology in our nature.

Government should also ensure a proper supervision of SIWES student so that the
purpose of the programme will be achieved.

The federal Government should make adequate provision in the annual budget for proper
funding of SIWES in view of the potential of the scheme to contribute to enhancing the quality
of the pool to technical skill available to the economy.

A comprehensive and detail directory of employer who accept students for SIWES is
urgently required to facilitate placement of student in industry.

In order to guarantee quality assurance of institution and the ITF. The ITF should ensure
that the backlog in payment of students allowance is cleared urgently to remove the negative
image being created for SIWES.
