The Industrial Liaison Office (ILO) helps in coordination of vocational industrial attachment for both staff and trainees of the institution. It aims at making TVET programs an effective instrument of productivity, the main purpose of attachment is to expose the trainees to application of skills learnt in theory to real practice in the industry, this makes it an important component and a requirement in every course. It contributes to the creation of a globally competitive and adaptive human resource base to meet the requirements of a rapidly growing and industrialized economy. The department cuts across all the Academic departments in the institution. The trainees are placed in the industry at least after completion of every module in their respective courses, the department ensures industrial attachment period fits within the three attachment schedules that is January to April, May to August, and September to December within the year, we are therefore committed to ensure the trainees are timely placed and assessed. The department also establishes linkages with industries for technical development, particularly in the area of product innovation, design and construction. Industrial Attachment will enable Attachés to:

• Appreciate the importance of human relationships and work attitudes.
• Appreciate the importance of working as a team and as a member of a hierarchy.
• Understand the constraints of working life and the functional relationships within and between organizations.
• Be orientated towards work processes and the relationship of work to the rest of society.
• Apply theoretical concepts and school based skills to practice.
• Develop work attitudes like curiousness, self-confidence, maturity and self-reliance
• Obtain knowledge of potential careers and develop new areas of interest.
