Impediments to Students’ Industrial Training in Electrical/Electronics Technology

Getting a job is not at all easy in today’s scenario. Employers of labour are expecting more from their employees. Many graduates especially Electrical/Electronics graduates are left unemployed today because of lack of industrial work exposure. Thus, students’ industrial training bridges the gap and helps to convert students to qualified employees by providing practical work experience. The major objective of this paper is to identify the impediments to students’ industrial training in Electrical/Electronic Technology. The paper explained concepts such as impediments, students’ industrial training, and Electrical/Electronics Technology. The impediments to students’ industrial training in Electrical/Electronics Technology are lack of fund, guidance and support during the internship programme, lack of industries to carry out their training program, lack of enabling environment and lack of commitment and sincerity in the execution of industrial training programme. The paper suggested that, enough industries, enabling environment, guidance, support services and fund should be provide by I.T.F, government and other relevant agencies to ensure students undergo their students’ industrial training programme successfully, among others.
