12th of July 2014 I passed out from service. My friend with whom I was staying with, spent her service year with some ICT schools in Ibadan to learn ICT skills, while I stayed behind. She later got a top job while I managed with a small secondary school. I later moved to Lagos and got a job as an Admin person with a small hotel.

About a year later, I got a Teller Job with a new generation bank and I was working my ass off with a small paycheck. My other friend was already attending conferences and posting all sort of executive pictures online (It was so intimidating). The sacking spree then started in most banks, and I was affected. But I discovered that the I.T guys at the backroom were always confident despite lots of sacks going on. “Why can’t I be like them?” I asked myself. “Do they have 2 heads?” I asked again.

Currently I am working with a big ISP firm in Lagos and I am doing wonderfully well in terms of Finance. I don’t write this post to show off but to tell other people reasons why they should learn ICT skills even if their job role is not related!



So many Job opportunities

God knows that this month alone, I have seen countless number of Digital Marketing jobs, Software Development Jobs, Hardware and Brand Communication jobs. But I come up this forum and still see people begging for jobs. ICT is like a virgin field in Nigeria, yet to be crowded (I tell you from experience) unless you don’t know your skill well. I am already thinking of attending Digital Marketing Training, just in case my present employer messes up or I see a higher job offer (As I intend to leave the country and become a full digital Marketer like Click here to see how it was explained in this Post You also see reasons to learn ICT skills?

Peace of Mind

Even if you are sacked today, a competitor is waiting to utilize your ICT skill. A Digital Marketer with Pepsi can easily switch to Coca-cola with ease, even if the post isn’t vacant. A Network Engineer with Cobranet can switch to IPNX, even if they don’t advertise the position. Which other job sector can afford you that privilege?

Multiple Job Roles

Only ICT jobs gives you the priviledge of handling two or more jobs at the same time. During my learning period, I was a bank teller but also carry out networking jobs during weekends. I know how many times I collected sick leave just to help set up a CBT center in Lagos. The revenue was 2x my monthly salary. As a H.R person, can you handle more than two job roles at once? Hell NO!

But Imagine if you had a skill like – let’s say Digital Marketing alongside your H.R skills, can’t you help manage someone’s business online while you do your day job? We have to open our eyes to the fact that ICT rules!!!

Utility Staff

They will marvel at how a Teller girl could offer Networking advice to our Engineers. They wanted to retain me, but someone was offering a higher pay. I have knowledge of accounting, I am a Network Engineer and I am about to learn More. Call me a jack of a trade – no problems, but I am a master of all.

Higher Pay

A small Business man or Enterpreneur with Digital Marketing knowledge and the one without, who would generate a higher revenue? A H.R person with Oracle Database Administrator skill and the one without, who will get a higher pay?

An accountant who can develop a solution to help solve a problem in his firm and the one who is only an End user, who will get a higher pay?

If nothing else would convince you to learn ICT skills, I hope this will convince you.

Steps to take to learn ICT skills

i) Determine what skill would help you achieve any of the following above

ii) Choose where to learn

iii) Pay and start – it might be expensive or might not be, but it is worth every penny.

iv) Graduate and start living your dreams.

Immediately you start writing markup (HTML), you have begun some form of programming. So technically, it is no longer design but development. A lot of people think the terms are synonymous but they aren't. And understanding the difference between them would save you from confusion later on.

Design does not involve any form of coding; that is why design tools include Photoshop, Balsamiq, Gravit, Sketch etc while development tools include text editors (notepad, notepad++, VS Code, Atom, Sublime etc) plus other software depending on your use case.

There is nothing like front-end design; only front-end development. What training schools and people tag as front-end design is actually User Experience/User Interface (UX/UI) design.

UX/UI design is the process of transforming a digital product from an idea to a concept or enhancing user satisfaction, usability and accessibility of a digital product.

The reason I said concept for the first part of my definition is that design processes do not directly produce the digital product. It's like the way architects draw building plans. The building plan is not the final outcome; it still has to be built with brick and mortar. But it is a concept that if followed, would result in a building that people can live in. So for digital products, the UX/UI design process produces wireframes, mockups, high fidelity pictures of how the digital product would look like. It also produces personas, user stories etc.

Read the links below to understand more

https://medium.com/startup-grind/i-got-rejected-by-apple-music-so-i-redesigned-it-b7e2e4dc64bf

To answer your last question. Technically, you don't need to learn any programming language to be a UX/UI designer. What you need to learn about instead are colours, composition, sketching, user experience research, design guidelines and patterns, and then design tools like the ones I listed above.

But this is where I need to say this caveat: a lot of UX/UI designers write HTML, CSS and Javascript. This is not to say you must learn how to code when you are a designer. But writing HTML, CSS and JS when you are a bad ass designer would get you hired before someone who is only a designer. It is simply a case of killing two birds with the same stone. In the thread below, a guy comes up with the design, then other guys jump on it.

But the road to becoming an experienced front-end developer is still long. You have a lot of ground ahead of you. See attached pictures and the youtube link
