Abstract

The lack of proper orientation prior to the commencement of the Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) has been identified as one of the challenges facing the scheme. In addressing this identified challenge, a four-stage Industry Immersion Programme for Students (IIP4S) consisting of: Planning, Orientation and Training, Industry Immersion and Impact has been proposed in this paper as the solution to this problem. In evaluating the effectiveness of each stage of the scheme, the quantitative data collection method was used. The data obtained were then analyzed to evaluate the effect of organizing an orientation programme prior to the commencement of the scheme. © 2021 ACM.
