INTRODUCTION
SIWES (Student Industrial Work Experience
Scheme) is a skill development program
established by the Industrial Training Fund
(ITF) in Nigeria.
It is designed to provide practical industrial
exposure to students of tertiary institutions,
especially those studying courses that require
practical experience, such as engineering, science,
technology, agriculture, and other applied fields.
OBJECTIVES OF SIWES
Bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Develop practical skills.
Enhance employability and career development.
Promote collaboration between academic
institutions and industries.
Improve students' ability to work in a team and
adapt to a professional environment.

CHAPTER ONE …
Introduction: should contain overview of SIWES,
overview of the Organization, Activities and Services
of the Organization and Ethics of the Organization
Student’s Objective of the SIWES: The students
are expected to provide at least three objectives. E.g.
Gaining practical experience in mobile software development,
including programming languages, tools, and frameworks used
in the industry.
Understanding the workflow of mobile app development, from
concept and design to deployment and maintenance.
Enhancing problem-solving and collaboration skills by working
in teams on real-world mobile software projects.
This objectives should be aligned to what will be discussed in
chapter two.
CHAPTER ONE ….
Overview of the Work Assigned during SIWES:
Students should explain every work assigned to them
during SIWES. Eg.
Writing code for mobile applications, testing functionality, and
debugging issues.
Participating in app design and prototyping stages using wireframe
tools and UI/UX design principles.
Collaborating with team members on projects, attending meetings,
and reporting progress on specific assignments or modules.
Achievement: Students should describe the achievement at
the end of the SIWES experience. E.g.
A better understanding of mobile software development lifecycle and a
portfolio of projects or contributions to existing apps.
Improved technical proficiency in mobile programming languages such
as Java, Kotlin, Swift, or Flutter.
Developed soft skills such as teamwork, communication, and time
management, gained through practical exposure in a corporate
environment.
Summary: Provide the summary of the chapter
CHAPTER TWO: LEARNING EXPERIENCE
2.1 Introduction
2.2 Projects undertaken during the program
2.2.1 Details of what has been carried out
2.2.2 Reflection on the practical application of academic
knowledge
2.2.3 Challenges faced and how they were overcome
2.3 Summary
CHAPTER TWO: LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Projects undertaken during the program: Student is
expected to explain projects he/she has participated in.
Each project should be aligned to an objective that has been

A student is expected to take each of the objectives and
explained it in details.
The explanation should also capture the following in each
objective:
Details of what has been carried out: The student should explain each
objective in details i.e Role played, Commitment, Awards, Contribution etc
Reflection on the practical application of academic knowledge:
Student should clearly explain how academic knowledge obtained reflect the
practical application in the real world projects.
Challenges faced and how they were overcome: The student should

also explain how there were overcome.
CHAPTER THREE: CONCLUSIONS &
RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1 Introduction
3.1 Conclusion
3.2 Recommendations
CHAPTER THREE: CONCLUSIONS &
RECOMMENDATIONS
Conclusion: Write a good conclusion. E.g.
My SIWES experience at [Company Name] provided invaluable
practical exposure to the software development industry. I was
able to apply theoretical knowledge from my university studies to
real-world projects [list of the projects], gaining hands-on
experience with [specific technologies or tools].
The opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals and
contribute to meaningful projects has significantly enhanced my
skills and prepared me for a successful career in software
