The paper investigated the material resource inputs for Skill Acquisition in Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) in Agricultural Education Programme of Nigerian Southwest Colleges of Education. The study also examined the material resource inputs available for training in SIWES and further assessed the level of usage of material resource inputs for training students in SIWES in Agricultural Education Programme in Southwest Colleges of Education. The design of the study was a descriptive research of the survey type. Multistage random sampling technique was used to select 200 SIWES students of Agricultural Education programme, 77 institution supervisors and 30 industry-based supervisors from Southwest Colleges of Education as sample for the study. The research instrument used was questionnaire titled Implementation of SIWES in Agricultural Education Programme (ISAEPQ) for Industry-based supervisors, institution supervisors, ITF Personnel and Agricultural Education SIWES students as respondents. The instrument was validated and reliability coefficients of 0.97 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha at 0.05 level of significance. Two Research Hypotheses were generated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Availability of material resource input will not significantly influence students’ skill acquisition in SIWES in Agricultural Education Programme in Southwest Colleges of Education. The study concluded that Colleges of Education in the Southwest Nigeria, moderately have in place the material resource inputs that matches with the benchmark of National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) requirements, for running Agricultural Education programme for effective implementation of SIWES. It was recommended in the study among others, that for effective utilization of the material resource inputs, proper orientation before, during and after the Scheme should be given to NCE students of Agricultural Education Programme.
