THE POLYTECHNIC IRESI HOLDS SIWES ORIENTATION PROGRAMME FOR STUDENTS

TPI PRESS CLUB

 The Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) of the Polytechnic Iresi has organized an orientation programme for students on their expectations and obligations to the scheme.

SIWES is a skill training programme designed to expose and prepare students of Polytechnics and other tertiary institutions for the industrial work situation they are likely to meet after graduation.

In his opening address, the new Ag. Rector of the Polytechnic Engr. (Dr.) Kamoru Olawatoyin Kadiri urged the students to put in their best during the industrial training programme which will last for four months, in order to enhance their cumulative grade because the programme is a four-unit compulsory course on its own which must be passed by all the students before graduation.

Engr. (Dr.) Kadiri also affirmed to the students that they will be made to defend what they have learnt in their place of attachment on returning to school and he appealed to the students to be good ambassadors of the Polytechnic Iresi.

He emphasized that the SIWES is as important as any other departmental courses being offered in all the departments.
