STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The key objective of SIWES is to relate theory to practice, thus before a student graduates, he or she should be able to marry theory and practice. Business education is a programme in which a graduate is required to demonstrate through practical and mental skills his or her ability with little employers’ preparation. Thus, his or her training should approximate situations in the world of work especially with the compulsory industrial training requirement of the programme. It is however observed that some business education products perform dismally at employment interviews and are unable to apply themselves to simple office skills, procedures and practices. Could this be as a result of lack of adequate SIWES programme exposure or failure in the impartation of the appropriate skills by institution offering business education programme? In a cross sectional study conducted in some selected industries, universities and research institutes in 1985, Ukaegbu found that graduates apply their intellectual skills and knowledge well enough in industries, he added that students on the other hand are faced with the challenge of handling some electronic gadgets and facilities during their Industrial Training period which the school environment may not have sufficiently exposed them to at the time of undertaking the industrial training. It is on this basis therefore, that this study seeks to assess the SIWES relevance to business education programme objectives.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The main objective of the study is to assess on the importance of siwes to business education programme objectives. Specifically, the study seeks to determine:
1. To ascertain the level of awareness of business education students on the relevance of SIWES to their programme.
2. To ascertain whether business education students placed in work places relevance to their programme during SIWES
3. To assess whether students experience the needed practical experience during their SIWES programme.
4. To ascertain whether the students are adequately supervised during their SIWES programme.
5. To ascertain whether the industries allow the students access into their mainstream.
