Rationale:

Industrial  placement  refers  to  work  experience  done  during  the  program  of  study  that  is  relevant  to  professional development.    The  fundamental  objective  of  Industrial  Training  is  to  prepare  students  for  future  employment. Industrial  placement  enhances  the  academic  material  studied  at  the Institute  by  allowing students to practice what they have learned and to develop key professional attributes.  Industrial training should provide an opportunity for students to:

·         Experience the discipline of working in health and safety

·         Interact with other professional and non-professional groups

·         Develop technical, interpersonal and communication skills, both oral and written

·         Industrial training also gives employers an opportunity to assess future employees.  A demonstrated commitment and  ability  to  take  responsibility,  make  sound  decisions,  and  apply  technical  skills  will  be  highly  regarded.

·         Industrial  training  gives  students  an  opportunity  to  evaluate  future  employers  as  well  as  enabling  informed decisions about the discipline and career paths to follow.
