Nwokolo and Ekwe (1990) discovered that there is positive relationship between what students were taught in classroom and the actual in the job experience. The rate relatedness being 87%.
Student industrial work experience scheme is armed at promoting the most desired knowledge of technology for the advancement of the nation since it was recalled that SWIES Programmes was originally designed fro professional course such as environmental studies, engineering, vocational.
The decree No. 47 of 8th October, 1991, defined the objectives of the industrial training fund as the promotion and encouragement or acquisition.
On the part of the students some of them see themselves as having observation statures being on a learning process and as such do not work conscientiously to wards the achievement of organizational goals, while other see themselves as parts and parcel of the organization hence contributing meaningful towards it success.
