Are you skill shy or a school dogmatic?
This article will question your beliefs, set you up to see that your skill set and abilities, are as important as your name.
Education is for all. Having a skill is a thing for all to consider. But not many know this.
The society will rather have you work your entire life for them and get underpaid for lack of skill, than educate you on relevant skills for the work space. It might just be a conspiracy.
What are your interests?
Have you ever looked in awe and wondered how a product is being manufactured, sold and the mystery behind earning from what your hands can do for you?
Well, Africa’s top entrepreneur and Nigeria’s very own Aliko Dangote should be your case study.
Why Dream it?
If you’ve never thought about skill acquisition and its benefits as a necessity, you will in all sincerity never discover the skill you need to excel and profit from. If you can’t dream it, you can’t have it.
Do not let schooling be the end but the beginning. It’s not about the four walls but a larger society, and how to bridge the gap between the skill needed and the problem to solve. With the trend of increase in the rate of unemployed graduates, you want to be able to stand out as a problem solver and not just a degree holder!
This is for those who prefer white collar jobs otherwise known as “I wear a suit!”
Being gainfully employed is also about being skillful in solving problems. Gaining a skill goes beyond self-employment. Gaining a skill can create multiple streams of income for you even as a student.
Yes companies today won’t employ you for your education alone but also and most importantly, for your skill set.
The Gain A Skill is a win-win initiative except you want to lose.
Now go into yourself, research, look around you, find your interest, question how it is done and dream about becoming more! You too can Do IT to BECOME IT, (a nick way of life for those whose designers have)
