Benefits of Industrial attachment

• The program enhances understanding and appreciation of what is learnt in class. This in turn helps them prepare adequately for examinations.
• Industrial attachment forms the first real job experience. Trainees learn the challenges, dynamics and expectation of the real world of work. Industrial attachment is very useful when seeking job placement after training.
• The program gives trainees an opportunity to meet, interact and network with their future prospective employers.
• A linkage between the institute, industries and the employers
