The objective of the study was to: describe the demographic characteristics of student who participated in the SIWES in the Rivers State University farm. Purposive sampling procedure was used to select the students. A total of 58 respondents were selected. Data were analysed using simple regression analysis. Structured questionnaire was used to elicit data from the respondents. The result revealed that 51.72% of the respondents were male while 48.28% of the respondents were female. Also, 96.55% of the respondents were single; the mean age was 28 years. Furthermore, 20.69% of the respondents carried out their SIWES at level 300 while 79.31% carried out their SIWES at level 400 for a 5years course. The frequency of tools used for SIWES by the students were; grab hoe (mean = 3.13), scissor (mean = 3.13), boot (mean = 3.00), wheelbarrow (mean = 2.98) among others. The benefits of SIWES on the students at the university farm were: lifelong skill acquisition (mean = 3.13), blend theoretical knowledge with practical knowledge (mean = 3.01)), students’ exploration, initiative and creativity (mean = 3.00), job creation (mean = 2.98).
