Thanks Madam.

Timossa:
You can easily practice Human Resource Management with your business if you have people working for you. HRM is very vast, without organization, people and resources, you cannot practice HRM.

You may have to locate organizations or get a job where you can function in the HR Dept. HR needs practice and that is where you get most of your experience from.

Most HR positions requires a lot or some working experiences. But you can include your ''Self Employment'' work history on your CV so that it can look attractive.

Hope my suggestions prove useful?

Good luck sir.

African101:
Thanks. Do you have any idea about CIPM.

Four years ago, I was in your shoes.

I had an HND(Distinction) in accounting and ACA.

The discrimination was just too much. My friend told me the painful truth. He ask me to go back to school for a Bsc in Accounting.

I thought of this, with children school fees to pay, family to feed and cloth and other important financial responsibilities to meet, how could I possibly add another responsiblity of paying university school fees for myself. It wasn't an easy decision.

In 2012, then i was 38 years, i took a bold step that is later to be one of the important decisions of my life. I enrolled for a Bsc accounting in Anambra state university.

It was not an easy journey, but the support i got from my wife made things a whole lot easier. I completed the program in December 2015 after 4 years of struggle. I collected my statement of result in September 2016. The good thing is that i finished with First Class (honours).

Today, as I am typing this, I am gainfully employed with my Bsc result. By next year, God willing, I will start my MSc in Accounting.

Sir, the truth is that you need a Bsc if ever you want to be a lecturer. MBA is not an accademic masters and as such is not recognised in the academic environment.

In my class during the Bsc days, I had a coursemate who is older than me and who came in with the following qualifications: HND, PGD, MSC, ACA, ACIT. Yet he came back to do Bsc.

On a final note, NEVER LET AGE STOP YOU FROM ACCOMPLISHING A NOBLE IDEA.

No university will employ him as a lecturer even with HND+PGD+MSC, only polytechnic can. Even to be employed in a polytechnic the PGD should be in the core field(mass comm not in education+ MSC. Academic carreer for HND is very narrow , you can only work as a technologist, so my advice is obtain a degree if you're passionate about working in academic as lecturer. I'm a senior technologist working in a polytechnic , speaking from experience

Well, i have read all the comments but the best for somebody to fully enjoy lecturering job whether in NCE, Poly or University is to pass through B.Sc and move to other ladder because polytechnic system even said a graduate of poly be employed as only technologiest and instructor. However, if you find your way to class with HND, don't wait till you will be forced out of the system. Also, you can do HND-B.Sc Conversion programme; many universities are doing the programme, in fact, i just finished from Kwara State University, Malete http://app.kwasu.edu.ng/portal or http://kwasuvoice.com/tag/kwasu-begins-top-up-degree-and-hnd-conversion-programme//top_up_prog.php

you can get a lecturing job with your degree but it depends on the university. Unless you want to start off first from either a polytechnic or college of education then gradually do your masters. Note: the most important thing in nigeria now is work experience. Start from somewhere. I know someone who had a masters degree and currently running on another one but has been Jobless for 4 years now. *myonemillionadvice*

wozup:
I just got admitted in to kwasu for the top up.
Pls anybody doing the program should whatsapp me on 08032948842 for information sharing.. Thanks

cmoney22222:
pls whats the total cost and duration for this program?

spice123:
My brother, I am currently in the teaching profession with HND and it's paying me well. Just go and do a Post Graduate Diploma in Education ( 1 year) for a start. A lot of Polytechnics need lecturers. You can start from there and then do your masters degree and move to a University. By then you must have gained at least 2 years lecturing experience before moving to a University. Nigeria work is solely based on experience and not just carrying certificate around. #speaking from concrete experience#

Since I joined nairaland almost half a decade ago, this has been one of the most mature and educated post I have read, devoid of abuse, ethnic sentiment, political tones and absolutely insightful. I appreciate the guys that took their time to explain and educate others. People who jus read on have sure learnt alot.

There are a lot of ideas and knowledge I have picked up in the process. Once again,thanks very much for all he contributors.
