| 1 | Enhancing Entrepreneurial Preparedness for Primary School Teachers in Nigeria |
This paper unveiled the major challenges being faced by Nigerian students during their engagement in Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES). It explores a better way of improving students’ engagement in the Work Experience Scheme by involving small and medium enterprises to provide entrepreneurial exposure and business mentorship. Although the Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) has offered many Nigerian students the required exposure to practical work experience, some have not benefited from it. Some of the reasons for this include the increased student population in Nigerian tertiary institutions, the inability of industries to absorb all students due to limited spaces, and the inability to pay the required stipend. Other problems include the wrong placement of students for the exercise. This paper proffered strategies for providing a more robust programme of engagement that would promote entrepreneurial spirit and skills required by students to establish personal ventures and succeed at it t the end of their academic pursuit. The programme will provide opportunities to capture all that the students are required to go for SIWES in a more appropriate setting and provide rich collaboration between Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’S) and educational institutions in Nigeria. | Olorisade G O and Afolabi S.O | 12 | journal of Arts Science and Technology | 2022-10-07 | jasteditor@utech.edu.jm | |
