INTRODUCTION

2.0.            BACKGROUND OF THE SCHEME

The student industrial training is a training programme which forms a part of the academic standards in the various degree programmes for all Nigerian tertiary institutions. It seeks to bridge the gap existing between technology and other professional education programmes in Nigerian tertiary institutions.

It is a skill a training programme designed to expose and prepare students of Universities, Polytechnics/Colleges of Technology/Colleges of Agriculture and Colleges of Education for the industrial work situation that they are likely to meet after graduation. The scheme also affords the students the opportunity of familiarizing and exposing themselves to the needed experience in handling equipment and machinery that are usually not available in their institutions.

Before the the scheme was established, there was a growing concern among our industrialists that graduates of our institutions of higher learning lacked adequate practical background studies preparatory for unemployment in industries and other organizations. Thus, the employers of labour were of the opinion that the theoretical education going on in the higher institutions was not responsive to their needs.

It is against this background that the rationale for initiating and designing the scheme by the industrial Training Fund (ITF) during its formative years, (1973/1974), was introduced to acquaint students with the skills of handling employers’ equipment and machinery. The ITF solely funded the scheme during its formative years. But as the financial involvement became unbearable to the fund, it withdrew from the scheme in 1978. The federal government handed over the scheme in 1979 to both the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE). Later, the federal government in November 1984 revert the management and implementation of the scheme to ITF and it was effectively taken over by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) in July 1985 with the funding is solely borne by the federal government (Job Specifications on Students Industrial work Experience Scheme, n.d.)
