BENEFITS OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING FOR STUDENTS AND STAFFS

BENEFITS OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING FOR STUDENTS AND STAFFS

The major benefits accruing to students who participate conscientiously in industrial training are the skills and competencies they acquire. These relevant production skills (RPSs) remain a part of the recipients of industrial training as life-long assets which cannot be taken away from them. This is because the knowledge and skills acquired through training are internalised and become relevant when required to perform jobs or functions (Mafe, 2009).
Several other benefits can accrue to students who participate in industrial training. These include the following:
• Opportunity for students to blend theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom with practical hands-on application of knowledge required to perform work in industry.

• Exposure of students to the environment in which they will eventually work, thereby enabling them to see how their future professions are organised in practice.

• Minimization of the bewildement experienced by students, particularly those from a non-technological background, pursuing courses in science, engineering and technology with regard to different equipment, processes, tools etc. available in industry.

• Enabling SET students appreciate work methods and gain experience in handling equipment and machinery which may not be available in their institutions.

• Preparing students to contribute to the productivity of their employers and national development immediately after graduation.

• Provision of an enabling environment where students can develop and enhance personal attributes such as critical thinking, creativity, initiative, resourcefulness, leadership, time management, presentation skills and interpersonal skills, amongst others.

• Preparing students for employment and making the transition from school to the world of work easier after graduation.

• Enhancing students’ contacts with potential employers while on training.

• Enabling students bridge the gap between the knowledge acquired in institutions and the relevant production skills (RPSs) required in work organizations.

• Making SET students appreciate the role of their professions as the creators of change and wealth and indispensable contributors to growing the economy and national development.

• Enabling students appreciate the connection between their courses of study and other related disciplines in the production of goods and services.
