 CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION

1.0. BACKGROUND OF SIWES

SIWES is an acronym for Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme. SIWES was
established in the year 1973 in order to improve the standard of education in Nigeria and
to achieve the needed technological advancement. SIWES was solely funded by ITF
(Industrial Training Funds) during its early stage not until it was difficult to continue for
economic stress: then the responsibility was shared between Industrial Training Funds
(ITF) and the Federal Government.

The program was introduced due to students’ inability to contribute technically to the
industrial sector which is hampering the growth and development of the country. SIWES
was designed to expose students in Universities and Polytechnics to industry-based skills
and bridge the existing gap between the knowledge acquired in the classroom and
practical knowledge of Science, Engineering, Agriculture, Management and all other
fields in the Nigeria tertiary Institution. It affords students the opportunity of
familiarizing and exposing themselves to the needed experience in handling and making
use of equipment and machinery that are usually not available in their institutions.

The participation in SIWES has become a crucial precondition for the award of diploma
and degree certificates in specific disciplines in most Nigeria higher institutions in line
with the government education policies. The Federal Government and Industrial Training
Funds (ITF) are actively involved in this scheme. The Federal Government took over the
funding of the scheme and Industrial Training Funds took over the managerial position by
managing the funds given to them by the Federal Government in order to sustain the
scheme.

9
1.0.1. OBJECTIVES OF SIWES
The objectives of the Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) are listed
below:
a. To provide an avenue for Students in Institutions of higher learning to acquire industrial
skills and experience in their course of study.
b. To promote research and training purposes for Students in higher institutions in their field of
study.
c. To expose students to work methods and techniques in handling equipment and machinery
that may not be available in their institutions.

d. To equip students with valuable skills, which will give them a competitive edge in today’s
job market.

e. To provide students with the opportunities to apply their educational knowledge in real work
situations, thereby bringing the gaps between theories and practice.

f. To enlist and strengthen employers' involvement in the entire educational process and
prepares students for employment after graduation.

g. To make the transition from school to the world of work easier and enhance students'
contact for later job placement.

h. To enhance students' contact with potential employers while on training and help students
appreciate the role their profession plays in the society.

i. To enhance students' contact for job placement after graduation.

j. To help to bridge the gap between Nigeria and other industrialized nations because of the
industrial exposure.

10
1.1. INDUSTRIAL TRAINING FUND (ITF)
The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) was established by the Industrial Training Fund Act
(ICTA) which came into effect on October 8, 1971. ITF was established to promote and
encourage the acquisition of skills in industry or commerce in Nigeria with a view to
generating a pool of indigenous trained manpower sufficient to meet the needs of the
economy.

 CHAPTER TWO
INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE
My Industrial Training at Coven Work's/Vesti began on Monday, May 03, 2021. My
programme experience is Splitted into about three months in the Software Training
Department and the rest of the training in both the Product Development Department and
the Customer Service Department.

(Django) together with Mobile Application Development using Java, Flutter (Dart).

20
 Fig. 2.0. shows an image of me during my training.

2.2. WEB DEVELOPMENT

Web Design is the process of creating websites. It encompasses several different aspects,
including web page layout, content production, and graphic design. While the terms web
design and web development are often used interchangeably, web design is technically a
subset of the broader category of web development.
The training begins with the introduction of what the web, server, client, web browsers,
network protocols (TCP, DNS, HTTP, HTTPS and FTP) means. This is done to make
students understand the basics of how the web works. Then the training continues with
installation of code editors, Sublime Text, Visual Studio Code or Atom. The rest of the
training teaches HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) in which tags are used to define the
content and metadata of each webpage, CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) for designing the
layout and appearance of the elements within a webpage, Bootstrap for responsive designs,
JavaScript and jQuery for interactive websites.

21
 The training also includes learning about GIT which is a free and open source distributed
version control system used to manage projects or a set of files with speed and efficiency
as they change over time. Finally, the training introduces students to Slack software for
communication and collaboration with team members.

Some of the projects that I completed during this training are:

1. A Responsive Website with Bootstrap – using HTML, CSS, Tailwind CSS and Bootstrap
and React JS, I was able to completely build the WEVESTI website.
https://wevesti.com. VESTI (Fin-Tech platform that serves as the index.html page on
Visual Studio Code is shown in Fig.2.2 and the responsive website displayed on Chrome
is shown in Fig.2.3.
The link to source code on github is: https://github.com/YemmyFolayan/vesti-frontend
(Public).

2. A FIN-TECH ADMINISTRATIVE DASHBOARD – This web application was built

with HTML, CSS, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript (React Js), Node.Js and
Typescript . It is an Administrative Dashboard application that allows Admin to manage
Vesti transactions and track user’s activity across the platform as shown In Fig. 2.4, Also
the dashboard.html page is displayed and Fig. 2.5 below shows the snapshot of the code
in visual studio code. The link to source code: https://github.com/YemmyFolayan/vesti.

2.4. BACK-END DEVELOPMENT USING NODE JS & TYPESCRIPT:

Typescript is a programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft. It is a strict

syntactical superset of JavaScript and adds optional static typing to the language. TypeScript is
designed for the development of large applications and trans compiles to JavaScript. It is free and
open source.
ADVANTAGES OF NODE JS & TYPESCRIPT
a. It is Super Fast - TypeScript was designed to help developers take applications from
concept to completion as quickly as possible.
b. It is Fully Loaded - TypeScript includes dozens of extras you can use to handle
common Web development tasks. TypeScript takes care of user authentication,
content administration, site maps, RSS feeds, and many more tasks — right out of
the box.
c. It is Reassuringly Secure - TypeScript takes security seriously and helps developers
avoid many common security mistakes, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting,
cross-site request forgery and clickjacking. Its user authentication system provides a
secure way to manage user accounts and passwords.
d. It is Exceedingly Scalable - Some of the busiest sites on the planet use TypeScript’s
ability to quickly and flexibly scale to meet the heaviest traffic demands.
e. It is Incredibly Versatile - Companies, organizations and governments have used
Typescript to build all sorts of things — from content management systems to social
networks to scientific computing platforms.

In the course of this training, I was introduced to many concepts such as:

a. TYPESCRIPT BASICS:
This includes Javascript Basic Syntax, Variable Types, Basic Operators, Decision
Making Statements (if… elif… else statement), Loops (while and for loops), Data
Types (Numbers, Strings, Lists, Tuples, Dictionary), Methods and Functions, Modules,
and Classes and Objects.

25
b. INSTALLATION OF TYPESCRIPT.
In order to make use of the Typescript framework, Node must first be installed on the
system and can be done using terminal or installer, Node, the packages they depend on
and some other useful packages. Then a virtual environment has to be set up which
allows for a virtual installation of Node and packages on a computer. It is used because
of many reasons which are due to the fact that:
i. Packages change and get updated often.
ii. There are changes that break backwards compatibility.
iii. It allows for testing of features that might break a web application.

SETTING UP A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT:

a. To use a virtual environment with Node Js we use these commands:
npx create --name my_node_env node==14.0
(Here an environment is created called “my_node_env” with the latest version of
Typescript)
b. The environment is then activated using this command
activate my_node_env
c. The environment can be deactivated with this command:
deactivate my_node_env
d. To check the list of virtual environment created:
Node info –envs

26
 Fig. 2.4. Screenshot of installing virtual environment using the terminal in Vs Code
CREATING A TYPESCRIPT PROJECT
a. Typescript can be installed using the command below which can only be done after the
virtual environment has been activated
npm install Typescript==4.1
b. A project is created using the command
npx-create startproject projectname

Fig. 2.5. Screenshot of Node.Js project creation

c. After the project is created Node Package Manager (npm install --save) creates some
scripts node_modules, .env settings.js, urls.js, index.js and manage.js, as shown in
Fig. 2.5.

i. .circleci
This is a blank Circle CI script that’s generated when automating deployment
ii. .elasticbeanstalk

27
 This is where all AWS Elastic beanstalk Development and Production environments
urls are stored.
iii. .vscode
This is where all VS code extensions for project accounts are stored.
iv. Docker
This is where all Docker and containerized applications are stored.

v. Node_modules

vi. postman_docs
This is where all Application programme Interface (API) Endpoints Documentations
are stored.
vii. endpoints
Here, functions that handles all Application programme Interface (API)
Endpoints creation and return responses are written.

Running the Node Js Project

a. To run the Node Js project as shown in Fig. 2.5 the command used is:
npm run dev

28
 Fig. 2.6: Screenshot of terminal when running project

b. To view a page in browser type: http://localhost:5000/ as shown in Fig. 2.6.

29
 Fig. 2.7. Screenshot of React start page

a. The command below is used to create a simple application
npx create project_app
b. After the application is created npm creates some scripts node_modules, public, src,
assets, components and .firebase as shown in Fig. 2.7.
i. .firebase
Application’s data models are stored here.
ii. .github
Application’s Git History, commits and stagings are stored here.
iii. node_modules
Here, Node module packages are stored when we run “npm install --save” script
iv. public

Some Projects done with React JS includes:

a. MY PORTFOLIO WEBSITE:

30
This website contains some pictures , screenshots, repositories and live link of works that
I’ve done, listing my skills and a little information about me. The site also includes links
to my social media accounts like linkedin, twitter, whatsapp, facebook etc. and a section
to contact me through email. It has a login/register page to connect to the admin page and
add more work and information that I have as time goes on. This portfolio website was
uploaded on https://www.netlify.com which allows for uploading of web applications.
The figures below, Fig 2.8, Fig 2.9 shows screenshots of what the website looks like on a
local server (127.0.0.1:3000), Fig 2.12 displays a section of my code, the models.py
where I created models for the site, Fig. 2.13 shows the login page where other users can

2.5 MOBILE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT WITH JAVA
Mobile application development is the process of creating software applications that run
on a mobile device, and a typical mobile application utilizes a network connection to
work with remote computing resources. Hence, the mobile development process involves
creating installable software bundles (code, binaries, assets, etc.), implementing backend
services such as data access with an API, and testing the application on target devices.
This training was part of the Android Basics Nanodegree by Google on Udacity which is
designed for students who are new to programming and want to learn how to build
Android applications. No programming experience is needed to take this course but to get
the most of the training students must have an enthusiasm for learning.
Some courses that make up the Android Basics Nanodegree include:
a. User Interface
b. User Input
c. Multiple App Screens
d. Networking

In this training, the students become familiar with Java, the programming language used
to develop Android Applications. They are introduced to Java fundamentals including
object oriented programming, inheritance and more. Also they will learn about XML
(Extensible Markup Language) which is used for designing Android applications
Interface including different Layouts and Views.

Then, they will also learn how to create applications with single and multiple activities
learning about Intents and also applications that connect to the internet and use API.
Finally they will be given projects to work on which will be Uploaded and Published to
the Play Store.

33
 Some projects I worked on in respect to these courses are:

a. VESTI FIN-TECH MOBILE APPLICATION:

Vesti application allows users to understand more about the Yoruba language. It is a
version of an application developed by Google learnt on Udacity, Android Basics:

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ESTABLISHMENT
Due to the fact that I worked in the various departments aforementioned, I was involved
and engaged in different activities and projects that the company, Coven Work's/Vesti

 CHAPTER FOUR
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

In conclusion, the Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) program at

Coven Work's/Vesti has indeed served its purpose by giving me practical insight on what
the Technical Industry expects of me, the significant skills, best practices used
professionally in the industry as well as building my résumé with work experiences that
would give me an edge in this competitive technological space.
It also allowed me to apply my theoretical knowledge in school to real-life situations in
my field of study. I was able to see the relevance of some courses that I was taught at the
university.
The training has also developed my intelligence and my interpersonal relationship with
people of different behaviors as well as revealing my capability under working
conditions, managing my time properly, and getting deliverables done on or before the
deadline. The training, though challenging, proved to be a vital aspect of my academic
program, as it provided me with not only a broad insight into my course of study, but also
with explicit experience required in ensuring that effectiveness and professionalism.
For any student to be exposed to the practical training of his/her profession there is a need
to undergo SIWES. The scheme also allows students to see, handle and appreciate
various equipment and tools used in their profession and related professions. Therefore,
the benefit of SIWES to students cannot be overemphasized, it prepares students for
challenges that await them in their profession, and after school generally, in whatever
profession they find themselves in.

4.0 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED DURING THE PROGRAM

During my Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme, I encountered the following
problems:
a. Familiarizing myself with the Core Codebase and coding practices of the company.
b. The cost of feeding and transportation was Extremely high.

42
4.1 SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT
Although the Industrial Training experience has been an eye-opener to what life would be like
after graduation, here are some recommendations that should be taken into consideration to
improve SIWES for other students that will undergo this training. These suggestions are owing
to what I encountered during this training, they include:
a. The Industrial Training Fund should collate a record of places where all past students did
their SIWES program so that other students who are yet to do their SIWES program can
have a ready pool of companies to choose from.

b. Students should be visited regularly by ITF officials and their University supervisors during
SIWES at their various places of attachment to monitor and ensure that they are learning
what is relevant to their fields.

c. Efforts should be made by the Federal Government, ITF, and the University management in
securing discipline-related placements for students.

d. The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) and companies should support students by facilitating
the payment of monthly stipends to ease their transportation and feeding expenses.

e. The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) should assist the students in getting places of attachment
during this period.
