CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION

SIWES was established by ITF in 1973 to solve the problem of lack of adequate practical
skills preparatory for employment in industries by Nigerian graduates of tertiary
institutions.
The Scheme exposes students to industry-based skills necessary for a smooth transition
from the classroom to the world of work. It affords students of tertiary institutions the
opportunity of being familiarized and exposed to the needed experience in handling
machinery and equipment which are usually not available in the educational institutions.
Participation in Industrial Training is a well-known educational strategy. Classroom
studies are integrated with learning through hands-on work experiences in a field related
to the student’s academic major and career goals. Successful internships foster an
experiential learning process that not only promotes career preparation but provides
opportunities for learners to develop skills necessary to become leaders in their chosen
professions.
One of the primary goals of the SIWES is to help students integrate leadership
development into the experiential learning process. Students are expected to learn and
develop basic non-profit leadership skills through a mentoring relationship with
innovative non-profit leaders.
By integrating leadership development activities into the Industrial Training experience,
we hope to encourage students to actively engage in non-profit management as a
professional career objective. However, the effectiveness of the SIWES experience will
have varying outcomes based upon the individual student, the work assignment, and the
supervisor/mentor requirements. It is vital that each internship position description
includes specific, written learning objectives to ensure leadership skill development is
incorporated.
Participation in SIWES has become a necessary pre-condition for the award of Diploma
and Degree certificates in specific disciplines in most institutions of higher learning in the
country, in accordance with the education policy of government.
Operators - The ITF, the coordinating agencies (NUC, NCCE, NBTE), employers of
Labour and the institutions. Funding - The Federal Government of Nigeria Beneficiaries -
Undergraduate students of the following: Agriculture, Engineering, Technology,
Environmental, Science, Education, Medical Science and Pure and Applied Sciences.
Duration - Four months for Polytechnics and Colleges of Education, and Six months for
the Universities.

In web development class where we were taught
Web development refers to the process of building and maintaining websites or web
applications. It involves a combination of skills, technologies, and methodologies to
create a functional and visually appealing online presence. Web development can be
17 | P a g e
broadly categorized into two main types: front-end development and back-end
development.

1. Front-End Development:
• HTML (Hypertext Markup Language): Used to structure content on the web.
• CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): Responsible for styling and layout, determining
the visual presentation of the content.
• JavaScript: A programming language that adds interactivity and dynamic
behavior to web pages. Front-end frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js
are often used to streamline JavaScript development.
2. Back-End Development:
• Server-Side Languages: Such as PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, and Node.js, are
used to handle server-side logic and interact with databases.
• Databases: Systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and others store
and manage data used by the web application.
• Server: Software environments such as Apache, Nginx, or Microsoft IIS
manage requests from clients, handle business logic, and serve web pages.
• APIs (Application Programming Interfaces): Enable communication between
the front-end and back-end, allowing data exchange.
3. Full-Stack Development:
• Full-stack developers are proficient in both front-end and back-end
technologies, allowing them to work on all aspects of web development.
Web development is a dynamic field that continually evolves with new technologies and
trends. Developers often need to stay updated on the latest tools and practices to build
modern, efficient, and secure web applications.
WHO IS A WEB DEVELOPER?
A web developer is a professional responsible for designing, creating, and maintaining
websites or web applications. Web developers are skilled in various programming
languages, frameworks, and technologies to build functional and visually appealing
online experiences. The role of a web developer can be broadly categorized into front-end
development, back-end development, or full-stack development, depending on the
specific focus of their work.
CATEGORIES OF WEB DEVELOPERS

18 | P a g e
• FRONT-END DEVELOPER: This is someone who implements web designs
through scripting languages like HTML, CSS, and JS. They work on design and
outlook of the website.
• BACK-END DEVELOPER: Responsible to work on what goes behind the scenes
like databases. They create, write the code, and improve the server side
applications and database.
• FULL STACK DEVELOPER: This is someone who knows how the web works at
each and every level, including structuring and designing the web page using
HTML, CSS and JS, operating and querying the databases, setting up and
configuring Linux or windows servers, coding server-side APIs.

TECHNICAL SKILLS OF WEB DEVELOPERS

19 | P a g e
WEB DEVELOPMENT TOOLS & TECHNOLOGIES
To start the journey of website development you need the following:
• TOOLS:
i. Text Editors-A text editor is a software program that allows users to input
and edit text e.g. Notepad, Notepad++, Sublime Text, Brackets etc.
ii. Web browsers- An application used to access and view website e.g. Goggle
Chrome, Safari etc.
iii. XAMPP: one of the widely used cross-platform web servers, which helps
developers to create and test their programs on a local webserver.

• TECHNOLOGIES:
i. HTML and CSS (Front-end).
ii. Bootstrap – the most popular HTML, CSS and JavaScript framework for
developing a responsive and mobile friendly website.
iii. PHP | MYSQL (Back-end)

INTRODUCTION TO HTML
WHAT IS HTML
• HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language, and it is the most widely used
language to write Web Pages.
 HTML is not a programming language but a markup language
 A markup language is a set of markup tags.
 HTML uses markup tags to describe a web pages.
• HTML Tags
HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags
 HTML tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets like <html>

20 | P a g e
 HTML tags normally come in pairs like <b> and </b>
 The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
 Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags
• HTML Document and Web browser:
• The purpose of a web browser (like Internet Explorer or Firefox) is to read
HTML documents and display them as web pages.
• The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret
the content of the page,

FUNDAMENTAL OF HTML
• VERSIONS OF HTML:
1. HTML 1.0
2. HTML 2.0
3. HTML 3.2
4. HTML 4.0
5. HTML 5
HTML BASICS
HTML 5
• This is the latest version of HTML.
• It came up with lots of HTML tags support.
• It provided support for new form elements like input elements of different types.
SOME FEW TAGS ADDED TO HTML5:
• EMAIL: this is a form tag used in checking the validation of the input value. It
checks whether the value inserted is a valid email.
• PASSWORD: It was added to receive a password from the user.

21 | P a g e
• Audio & Video − You can embed audio or video on your webpages without
resorting to third-party plugins.
• New Semantic Elements − These are like <header>, <footer>, and <section>.

HTML BASICS
HTML TAGS
 Basic html tags
 Formatting tags
 Structuring tags
 Form tag
 Multimedia tag
 Hyperlink
 List tag
Basic html tags:
<!Doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>

CHAPTER FIVE
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AT WORK PLACE

At the workshop, the major problems were due to the fact that the software we use was
outdated. And there was a problem getting genuine software and applications for users.
As such we resulted in purchasing substandard software or downloading them from the
internet, which takes a lot of time.
There was also a time when the number of IT students at the workshop was small and this
resulted to some students being overworked. More students were however brought on
during the course of my stay.
One of the major points in my IT was that we were divided into groups and given project
topics on which we were to source for materials either from the internet or libraries after
we are to deliver a presentation and this really afforded us the opportunity to gain things
which the staff(s) will not be able to teach us due to the nature of their job.

23 | P a g e
CHAPTER SIX
RECOMMENDATION

For subsequent trainees being taken up by the company, I strongly recommend more
space to accommodate more students in the center and a more stringent supervision of
their training program, especially by the Human Resources Department. This will go a
long way in ensuring that trainees do not lose focus and will constantly remind them that
their services to the company remain valuable.
Also I suggest ITF should liaise with some companies where they will take up students
for industrial training. This will help students who find it difficult to find attachments or
who end up in companies where they do nothing.
Students are most times faced with the problem of placement. I would like to suggest that
students should be given the opportunity to secure wherever they wish to undergo their
training before the end of the academic session as SIWES training starts immediately
after the session.
While collaboration with ITF and head of department should take place so as to tackle
this problem being encountered by students.
I would also like to add that students on Industrial Training or SIWES should be given
the necessary support to actually boost their efficiency, and willingness to learn.

24 | P a g e
CHAPTER SEVEN
CONCLUSION

This industrial training has afforded me the basic practical and theoretical knowledge that
I may not have gotten from the lecture room. It also gave me the opportunity to have a
feel of what it would be like after graduation when I start working.
The students industrial Training Experience Scheme has provided a training ground
where skills relating to how information can be processed, managed, preserve, retrieve
and documented. This has gone a long way in equipping me in merging what has been
learnt in the class room environment to what was actually learnt on the field.
