Newgate College of Health Technology Concludes SIWES Program for Public Health Technician Students

The Public Health Technician students of Newgate College of Health Technology have successfully completed the Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES), a mandatory program for students in technical and vocational fields.

The three-month program, which was conducted in various health facilities across Niger State, provided students with hands-on experience in public health practice.

With the SIWES program concluded, the department has resumed full academic activities for the new session. The practical knowledge and confidence acquired during the program are expected to enrich classroom discussions, practical sessions, and group projects.

The SIWES program is a vital component of Public Health Technician training, mandated by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and other regulatory bodies. It provides students with the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings, making them more competent and confident healthcare professionals.
