ABSTRACT
The Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) was established to
enhance the learning experience of students in higher institutions by providing them
with opportunities to acquire industrial based skills and experiences relevant to their
courses of study, The SIWES program provides the necessary framework for its aims
to be achieved through the attachment of a student to a company or firm whose
activities are related to the students course of study and proper monitoring of the
student to ensure the training achieves its desired objectives.
This report is a summary of experience gained, skills acquired and work done
during the period of attachment at the I.T department of Best Technologies, It also
contains the conclusions drawn based on my experience during the period of
attachment as well as the recommendations I made.
