ABSTRACT
It is pertinent to say that students are
encountering problems in receiving their industrial training allowance. As a
computer science student, we have to take the lead while others follow. Setting
the pace in everything that has to do with computing is what matters so long as
I am concern. In a bid to put a stop to that, I have decided to develop a
workable website for the school that will enable the students receive their
allowance on any bank of their choice and visit any cybercafé all over the
world, log in and fill the necessary information without having to go to the
school bursary.
What motivated me is the way people travel from far,
in other to receive their allowance and go to the SIWES unit for their cheque
collection instead of receiving their money online. This website is designed
using ASP.NET and dream weaver. It is an interactive website. And it is
intended to provide the services that are mostly needed by the students for
their industrial training allowance. The students will now be in a better
position to receive their money and bank will submit to the industrial training
fund headquarter and/or institution the print out of the total number of
students whom they have credited their account for confirmation. Therefore the
purpose of this project is to design a system that will improve the speed of
processing the rate at which problem solving is achieved and eliminating
completely the problems encountered in the manual system of Industrial Training
Fund payment, whereby project will help the students to collect their money
without the risk of transporting from their various places of attachment down
to school. Also to convert the manual system of ITF payment, ascertain the
payment and the schools and so on, into a computerized system.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Industrial Training
program was introduced under the National policy by the federal government in
the year 1973/74 and supervised by the National Board for Technical Education
(NBTE). It is a training a student undergoes in the field of his/her course of
study in other to acquires more knowledge and be more practical.
The students
industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) is a skill training program that is
designed by the federal government to expose and prepare students of
university, Polytechnic and colleges of education for industrial work situation
that they might likely meet before or after graduation. Before the
establishment of the scheme was a growing concern among our industrialists that
graduates of our institutions of higher learning lacked adequate practical
background studies preparatory for employment in industries.
The main objective of the program is
to bridge the gap between theories and practical by making it possible for
students to get themselves exposed to real jobs and actual job situations and
environments. It is therefore an important and mandatory component of training
in the accredited disciplines or courses like Computer science, Engineering,
Geology, and Agricultural Sciences, etc.
1.1 BACKGROUND HISTORY OF ITF
The Industrial Training Fund Act, 2004 has been amended by
the Industrial Training Fund (Amendment) Act, 2011.
The industrial training
fund is established to utilize contributions to the fund to “promote and
encourage the acquisition of skills in industry and commerce with a view to
generating a pool of indigenously trained manpower sufficient to meet the needs
of the private and public sectors of the economy”.
The Industrial Training Fund is also established to utilize
the contributions to the fund to provide training for skills in management
technical and entrepreneurial development in the public and private sectors of
Nigeria economy.
The industrial training fund (“ITF”) is
further established to set training standard in all sectors of the Nigeria
economy and to evaluate and satisfy vocational skills acquired by apprentices,
craftsmen and technicians in collaboration with other relevant organizations
obligatory contributions.
Every, employer with five
or more employees or with annual turnover of N50 Million and above is obligated
by section 6 of the industrial training fund (Amendment) Act 2011 to contribute
one percent (1%) of its total annual payroll to the industrial training fund as
the employees in Nigeria.
The mandatory one percent
(1%) ITF contribution be made not later than the 1st day of April of
the following year.
Employees, expatriates,
FTZ, etc employee are defined by this law to include Nigerians and
Non-Nigerians nationals employed by a Nigerian company, whether on part-time or
on full-time basis or as temporary employees or consultants.
Suppliers, contractors and
consultants bidding or soliciting for government contracts or businesses are
obligatory to make the IFT one percent (1%) total annual payroll contributions
to ITF.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Since the history of Federal polytechnic Nekede, which has several
departments, the school has undergo several problems, which delay in paying ITF
allowances which is be done manually.
We need a set of simple and consistent principles to govern
the arrangements for the computerization of projects conducted or completed
under the Innovation and Technology Support
Programme (ITSP) and General Support Programmed (GSP) of the Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF).
This manual system of paying ITF allowances has led to different problems such
as:
v Prone to human
error/typographical error
v Unnecessary delay in the
payment of students and supervisor allowance
v Difficulties of students
in getting placement
v Inadequate supervision
v Non-signing of necessary
materials like students’ log book at their places of attachment
v Risk of transporting from
students place of attachment down to their various schools for collection of
their allowance.
v This research work was
embarked upon to achieve certain aims which this study will attempt critically
to exhaust the subject of this study.
1.3 STATEMENT OF
HYPOTHESIS
The statement
of the hypothesis of this study is to provide a reliable and efficient platform for
implementing e-payment directly to the account of the approved participating
studies.
1. To ensure adequate funding
of the scheme
2. Students taking part in
this student industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) are aware of the
objectives for which it was established practices. They were usually eager to
take part in the scheme because it offers the students learning experiences
which cannot be directly gained in the class room.
3. Establish SIWES and
accredit SIWES unit in the approved institutions.
4. Formulated policies and
guideline for participating bodies institutions as well as appointing SIWES
co-coordinators and supporting staff.
5. Thus the evaluation of
SIWES in tertiary institution in meeting up with the needs for the established
of the program is necessary. However, this package will be of good use to all
students, supervisors and ITF officers and directors because it will save time
when information is been retrieved.
1.4 AIMS/OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The aims/objectives of this study is to set and control standards of
excellence and effectiveness in and offer direct training of professionals,
technicians, technologists and entrepreneurs to meet the human resource needs
for rapid industrialization and sustainable economic development of Nigeria,
relying on a corps of highly motivated and competent professional staff using
best of breed training techniques and modern technology.
The
objectives/aims are as follows:
Ø Provision of an avenue for
students in institutions of higher learning to acquire industrial skills and
experience in their approved course of study.
Ø Prepare students for the
industrial works situation which they are likely to meet after graduation.
Ø It expose students to work
methods and techniques in handling equipment and machinery not available in
their institutions.
Ø Provide students with an
opportunity to apply their knowledge in real work situation thereby bridging
the gap between theory and practices.
1.5 LIMITATIONS OF THE
STUDY
There are some limitations
or constraints confronting this study, they are as follows
·
TIME: I have a very little time
to carry out this research this was the fact that I combine the research work
with my academic studies. You can agree with me that time constraints is one of
the limitations I experience while carry out this research work.
·
FINANCE: however, finance is
another constraint I experience while carry out this research. The inadequate
of finance to carry out this research slow down the research work. Despite the
limitations every effort was geared towards accomplishing this project.
