The Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a planned and supervised training intervention based on stated and specific learning and career objectives. It is geared towards developing the occupational competencies of the participants. It is a programme required to be undertaken by the students of tertiary institutions in Nigeria pursuing courses in “Specialized Engineering, Technical, Business, Applied Sciences and Applied Artsâ€. It is an accepted skill training programme initiated by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) to bridge the perceived gap between theory and practice. Hence, it prepares students for work outside the four walls of their institutions with a view to developing a well-skilled and articulated knowledge, to benefit the students and create a self-reliant economy.
As good and innovative as the programme is, it is bedeviled with several problems which have hampered it from attaining its set objectives. It is against this backdrop that the research was carried out to know how Student-Teachers assess the programme based on its stated objectives.
The survey research method was used and the research instrument was a 22-item questionnaire containing closed - ended questions as well as open- ended questions structured to answer all the research questions in the study. The questions were properly fashioned to really ascertain the true opinions of students on the Student- Teachers- Assessment of SIWES programme. The population of study was the entire 300 level to 500 level faculty of education part time students of Lagos State University from which a sample of forty (40) students was drawn from Business Education and Economic Education student.
Data collected were manually coded; percentages and tables were used to analyze them. The study found out that SIWES is still a relevant practice in all field of studies because it enables students to demonstrate the rhetorical aspect of whatever the students have learnt under the classroom setting. It was also discovered that prompt payment of students’ allowance and regular supervision of students will ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of the programme to meet the manpower development drive of the country.
The researcher recommended that SIWES students should be given orientation as to the importance of the Programme; assignment to be given during the training should be relevant to student’s field of study. The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) should increase the token given to student –teachers, putting the economy situation into consideration and should try to pay students on monthly basis so as to motivate them to participate in the programme.
