ABSTRACT
The introduction of Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) into the
normal schools’ curriculum has opened up an avenue to expose and prepare students of
polytechnics, universities and colleges of education to acquire a lot of practical work
experience, skills, information and knowledge in order to supplement the theoretical
background of their chosen course of study and the work situation they are likely to meet
after graduation. This report is centered on a period between February and July 2021
Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) training program with Mission
Enterprise and Chemical industry Anambra state, with highlight on paint production such
as emulsion paint, semi-gloss paints and texcoat paints. This document gives a full
enlightenment on the classification of paints, as well as the components of paint and the
production processes, giving a clear idea of the student involvement in all operational
activities carried out at the paint factory. The first chapter gives an overview of the
SIWES program, its benefits and objectives, and gives the profile of the host company
Mission Enterprise and Chemical industry. Chapter two sets a foundation on some
concepts involved with paint, classification of paints, paint components, manufacturing
processes and properties while the fourth chapter captures all the experience gained. The
fifth and final chapter outlines the challenges encountered during the period alongside
conclusions drawn from the program as well as recommendations.
