Abstract

The study aimed at finding out the Jalingo computer business practitioners’ skills for sustainable SIWES in enhancing educational technology. Survey design was used for the study and a sample of 200 Jalingo computer business practitioners were selected from difference locations in Jalingo metropolis. Five research objectives were formulated and five research questions to direct the study and responses were elicited through a structured questionnaire. The result generally showed that Jalingo computer business practitioners do not demonstrate the required computer skills necessary for sustainable SIWES in enhancing educational technology and therefore, it was recommended among others that higher institutions engaging in SIWES program should set the required technical and computer skills objectives expected from the computer business organization before sending students on SIWES training.
