RATIONALE

The Student Work Experience Programme (SWEP) is designed to help University students acquire meaningful skills and experience from the world of work and hence complement their academic skills.

The goal of the programme, which is to primarily assist students to acquire meaningful exposure to the world of work is very much needed in today’s competitive business environment. Having given the students the opportunity to look for information thereby developing skills such as communication, research, teamwork has not only provided them with experiential learning required for their professional development in their chosen careers but has also enabled them to understand the exigencies of the world of work.

On the whole the SWEP programme will hopefully help the University students to shape preferences and discern future career aspirations. The SWEP 2002 is being launched this year as from 03 June 2002 and will last 6-7 weeks.
