Industrial attachment is an essential part of a student’s academic programme. It normally lasts for a period of 3 months. A student is supposed to be attached to a company or organization that offers services that are related to the student’s course of study.
At the end of the attachment, the student is required to write a report that is about 20 pages (We have provided an example of how to write one (here sample)
Below are the basic industrial attachment terms;
- An Attachee: This terms refers to the student who is on attachment
- Industry supervisor: This the person/employee in industry who has the responsibility of training the attachee

- Logbook: This is a book where the student records the activities that he/she performs on a daily basis while on attachment. It is divided into days/weeks/month (We can provide a logbook to you at a fee)
