INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
As a result of Increasing School Leavers Unemployment in the 1970s the Nigerian Government Introduced the new National Policy on Education in 1981. A major provision of the policy was the Introduction of the training of Banking and Finance Studies of Junior Secondary School (JSS) Level with emphasis on total acquisition of practical skills valve and knowledge that would enable Individuals live meaningfully in the society.
One of the reason for the emphasis on Banking and Finance Studies is the fact that it is a skilled course which would equip its graduates with the needed skills for gainful employment even if they terminate that formal education at the Junior Secondary School Level. This is ensure that courses are taught according to the curriculum and using appropriate methodologies for the subject. It is not possible to teach a student to operate a computer machine nor effectively, without the computer machine nor is it possible to teach a student to operate a proportional spacing of typewriter without such a typewriter for teachers to teach Banking and Finance subject. They must have a thorough knowledge of the subject and certificate in the area, so that they can demonstrate their skill properly for the students to understand and emulate. Noah (1971) and Thompson (1964). The writers stressed that the individual will acquire skills and reach the stated goal by watching on expect and by practisng this I believe that the individual in addition to this, should be given enough practise to enable him master the art.
In other to enhance the study of Banking and Finance there is the need for student to go on field trip. For there will permit students to study equipment and the layout of office and store procedure and study the relationship between department. For effective and efficient work experience it is good that the Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) as a medium created to expose students to the realities of the world of work in the various disciplines. It enable students watch theoretical classroom knowledge with practical work environment through work or practise. Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme is aimed at the knowledge to technology for the advancement of the nation. Since it was recalled that SIWES programme was originally designed for processional courses. Such as Banking and Finance, Environment Studies, Engineering, vocational. From the above facts, it becomes clear that if the lofty dreams of the nation is to be feasible, the Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) should be encouraged all concerned to enhance the technological advancement of the nation.
It is generally believed that banking & finance in the first place should prepare students for entry level employment in the business. It is concerned with the area of knowledge and competencies needed by everyone the knowledge, skills, abilities, understanding and attitudes that enable students to become worthy human beings and effective members of the banking industry.
1.2 Statement of the problem
Students on their own part have discovered that what most of the supervisors are after is how you can defend your SIWES report rather than how to make use of the scheme and maximize their abilities, knowledge and skills in regards to their profession.
Not all students sent on SIWES are paid, some are even asked to pay money to be accepted to do their Industrial Training programme.
If the aims of SIWES are not achieved students will end up knowing theoretical aspect of what they study, and have little or idea about the practical aspect of it. Thereby cannot gain employment or provide employment for the society. So the aim of this study is to expose students to have knowledge of theoretical aspect of what they study and also have the knowledge of practical aspect of what they study.
