SIWES Unit

The students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) was established in 1973/1974 session. Prior to the establishment of the scheme, there was a growing concern among our industrialists that graduates of our institutions of higher learning lacked adequate practical background studies preparatory for employment in the Industries. It is against this background that the rationale for initiating and designing the scheme was hinged. Consequently, the scheme affords 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.

Federal University of Technology, Yola, is one of the participating Institutions. All the programmes of the University with exception of those in school of Management and information Technology have been approved for SIWES by the National Universities Commission (NUC). An average of 1,300 students of the University has been participating in the scheme every year for the past three years.
