In 1974, the Federal Government of Nigeria introduced the national p olicy on Industrial training, called the Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWE S). This programme is under the umbrella of the Ministry of Education through the Indus trial Training Fund (ITF), was designed to help students acquire the necessary practical e ducation/experience in their fields of study and other related professions. This is an effo rt which was created in order to bridge the existing gap between the theory taught in the classroom and practice of science, agriculture, medicine, engineering, technology and ot her professional programme in the Nigerian tertiary institutions (SIWES Handbook, 201 7). This programmeis aimed at exposing the students to the use of various machines ande quipment's, professional work methods and ways of safeguarding the work areas in indu stries as well as other organizations and parastatals. The programme was established b asically to impact elaborate practical understanding to students with respect to their vari ous disciplines. It is also intended that the student through a process of relation to acade mic knowledge and practical industrial application would understand the underlying prin ciples and become better focused and acquire the practical applications towards excelle nce in his or her discipline. The Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) pro gramme involves the student, the Universities and the industries. This training is funded by the Federal Government of Nigeria and coordinated by the Industrial Training Fund ((T F) and the National Universities Commission (NUC) (SIWES Handbook, 2017), 1.1 Background of SIWES The S.LWE.S. was launched in 1973 by the Industrial Training Fund (I7.F) as a program “] me designed to impart the undergraduate of the nation’s tertiary institutions studying var_ L ious professional courses with the practical methods of performing professional functio ns to real life situations on site, in the of fice or even the factory and how they apply them selves 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. These are the Nigeria University Co mmission (N.U.C), National Board for Technical Education (N.B.1.E) and the National Co mmission for Colleges of Education (N.C.C.E.). Thus, equipping the students with the nec essary skills and technical knowledge to make them highly competitive and professional individuals in the Labour Market 1.2 Brief History of SIWES The Industrial Training Fund was established in 1971, Industrial Training Fund has opera ted consistency prior stakingly within the contact of its enabling i.e degree 1947 to 1971 The objective for which fund was established has been pursed vigorously, efficaciously i n the three decades of its existence ITF has not only raised training consciousness in eco nomy but has only helped in generating a corp of still incligenous manpower which has been maintaining and manage various sector of the national economy (ITF, 1973). 1.3Function of [TF «ITF was able to provide insurance cover for student attachment © In monitoring of lecturers involved in the supervision of student on SIWES @ Provision of information in companies for attachment and assist in the industrial placement of study. @ Provision of vet and process student log book. @ Provision of logistic and materials necessary for effective and ministration of the scheme. (ITF, 1973) 1.4 Aim and Objective of SIWES The aim of $1.WES is to bridge the gap between the level of knowledge acquired in tert aly institutions and the practical application of such knowledge in the field of work. “d : rT_ L The Objectives are: © Toprovide an avenue for students in industries of higher leaming to acquire industria | skills and experiencein their course of study. ® To prepare students for the work situations they areto meet after graduation @ To expose students to work methods and techniques in handling equipment and ma chinery that may not available in the educational institution etc. 1.5 Importance of SIWES @ SIWES isan effort to bridge the existing gap between theory and practice @ Itexpose student to necessary skills for smooth transition from the classroom to t he word of work. @ Itenables student to acquite technical skills and experience for professional devel opment in their study.CHAPTER TWO 2.0 ORGANIZATION PROFILE 2.1 History of Organization Lens Polytechnic is a polytechnic incorporated in Nigeria by the same management that owns and runs Lens school of management, Offa which is an innovation enterprise instit ution. Lens Polytechnic is an expansion from Lens School of Management and Technol ogy. The school was established on 20th April, 2012. Lens polytechnic was founded by ‘Azeez Yisa Bukola and Abdulazeez Isahg, an educationalist and a banker of high repute, the school was accredited duly by National Board for technical education. The Proprietor shave always been concerned with education and had always been disturbed with the si tuation of Nigeria youth who struggle to get admitted into tertiary institutions but canno 1 Another set of concern are those that studied in the tertiary institutions and then find it difficult to get employed. They cannot integrate well into the industry or they cannot star ‘tup something on their own because they lack entrepreneurship skills. As part of remedy to all these situations, the Proprietors then decided to establish Lens Polytechnic. 2.2 Objective of the Organization The objectives of the school are; @ To enroll qualified students and equip them with world class skills and knowledg e. “d v0 -_ L © To create studies that is highly practical based, innovative and dynamic for direct, absorption into industries and for self-empowerment. © To train the students to be ethically upright and contribute their best to the societ y.

In the laboratory, except for the above factors, the cultur “d s rT_ L e medium should be sterile and contamination of a culture with other organisms should beprevented. Let us briefly discuss a few of the more important factors for the growth of microorganisms Nutrients Agar Amicrobiological culture medium must contain available sources of hydrogen donors a nd acceptors, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, inorganic salts and, in certain cases, v itamins or other growth-promoting substances. These were originally supplied in the for ™m of meat infusions that were, and still arein certain cases, widely used in culture medi a. Beef or yeast extracts can replace meat infusions. The addition of peptone provides a readily available source of nitrogen and carbon 3.3.

SIWES is of great benefit to students in tertiary institutions. It therefore implies that the p roper and ef fective administration of SIWES will go a long way in boosting and enhancin athe competencies of the workforce of the country. | also conclude that SIWES is confro nnted with series of challenges and this may have hindered the realization of the goals an_ L “] d objectives of the scheme and it therefore needs to be given attention by all concerned s takeholders. Also, my general relationship with people and also work ethics has increase d greatly. 4,3 Recommendation In view of the relevance of the SIWES program, it is important that it is sustained by the g ovemment through the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) as it exposes the student to work to ls, facilities, and equipment that may not be available in their respective institutions in r elation to their course of study. To this end, | recommend that the following under listed points should be implem ented: i. Students’ Industrial Works Experience Scheme (SIWES) needs to be strengthened by all concerned stakeholder in order for its objectives to be fully realized ii. Regular monthly allowances for students on attachment should be paid promptly. REFERENCES: iii, Anderson, R.M,, Bosch, J.A., Goll, M.G., Hesselson, D., Dong, P.D. and Shin D (2019).
