INTRODUCTION TO STUDENTS
INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE
SCHEME (SIWES)
The Students Industrial Work Experience
Scheme (SIWES) is a program designed for
Nigerian students in tertiary institutions to
acquire practical work experience in their
chosen field of study. The scheme aims to:
1. Bridge the gap between theoretical
knowledge and practical skills
2. Enhance students' employability

3. Expose students to real-world work
environments
4. Develop skills in problem-solving,
communication, and teamwork
SIWES is typically a 3-6 month program, usually
undertaken during the long vacation, and is
mandatory for many undergraduate programs
in Nigeria.
BRIEF HISTORY OF AMINU KANO

Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital was
established in August, 1988 when the Kano
State Government formally handed over the
then Aminu Kano Cottage Hospital to the
Federal Government to be used as a Teaching

The hospital which temporarily started
operation at Murtala Mohd. Specialist
Hospital moved to its

grown to be a full 500 bedded Teaching hospital
with some modern equipment and facilities. The
hospital has a staff strength of two thousand
four hundred out of which over one hundred are
consultants in various specialties. One major
area that the hospital has impacted on the lives
of the people is in the area of kidney transplant.
Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital serves three main
functions: training of medical students and
Resident doctors,
provision of specialist medical services to the
sick, and important research for the
