Let her learn corel draw, photo and video editing skills. If you have more funds include animation and motion graphics training.

She would be an employer of labour even b4 graduating, Thank me later

Good suggestion too.

If she has connections, event planning is good.
I usually help a friend who usually rent ropes and stands they use in party.
He rents two stand with rope at the rate of 4000. And that is just a day profit and could rent up to 30.
Imagine now doing that every day or even a week.


But if she is good at computer let her choose either Programming or graphic or 3D animations. I am particularly involved in that and there is money..more than enough money there if you are good.

Good day everyone..

Am making plans to register my sister for any skill acquisition training. She is 18 and will be seeking admission into the university from next year. Meanwhile I want her to know something that will be useful to her in the long run.

Pls my people what will yu recommend. Something that sells and is reputable. Thanks.
I have thought about catering, cake making, event planning management, and tailoring and fashion design. I want to weigh other options..

We live in Port Harcourt.
You can even recommend a training center if you know any good one around.

Your comments will be highly appreciated thanks.

Leave all these fashion designing, baking, sewing, makeup etc. It's saturated!

She should learn programming, be proficient in MS Excel and Access. Anything software, that should be the focus.

Lerning skill is not just enough but being a master of it stands you out, my dear I think Fashion design will be perfect.

All these people typing programming, Web design dey funny me. No be naija we dey again?
How many ladies voluntarily join the ICT sector?

Abeg oo park one side o jare..Skills to girls in Nigeria. are :-
- Makeup artiste
- Gele tying
- Tailoring
- Bead making
- Hair dressing
- Manicure and pedicure expert
- Baking


e don finish oo, no other skill them girls wan learn wey no pass those ones I mention.

I am yet to see an 18yr old girl who has willingly agreed to learn IT skills in this naija. Its very very very rare

In the end , ask her what she wants to learn, don't force it on her because you are her elder bro otherwise you would be paying for training that wouldn't yield anything

Check out these skill set I bumbed into....could be helpful

I'm tired of seeing girls learning tailoring,hairdresser .

op she can learn computer engineering,only few ladies are into it.

within 6months is enough for her to learn software engineering, while 1year is ok for hardware repair(laptop motherboard repairing)

note that she will also learn small hardware while learning the software engineering like troubleshooting,changing/fixing of laptop parts.

Since she is going to school next year and students use laptop,i believe it is a good idea.

What are her interests? that should be what your decision should be based on and not what others say, there should be one or two things she must be interested in.

Introduce her to kingtblaqhoc, she will learn the business better and have her own empire






Don't quote me if you're dumb to know what I'm talking about

Omo ale

If she is good with her hands.... hair braiding period. She need not go to school....lots of how to videos online or you can purchase videos from reputable professional schools/workshops abroad. But you would have to provide her with the tools..... including lotsss of hair. After all....she will be using family members and friends heads for practice! The aim is for her to become #1 in braiding.....if she is very good at that...she will never have a shortage of heads rolling in.Good braiders are always in demand...internationally.
If not good with hands...cooking...and she should specialize in jollof rice. Doesn't have to go to school again. Need to formulate her own recipe to make hers above all others. ..and that's not very hard.

o boy u no go kill me!

SimpleBea:
Instead of you asking Nairalanders to suggest a good skill acquisition training for her. Why can't you just call her, sit her down and ask what vocation did she want to learn.
Remember, if you choose wrongly for her. You will regret your decision one day.

The girl is still young, she will not be familiar with the options before her. I made that mistake too because no one was there to guide me. My younger sister had the same issue too when she wanted to select university course. I told her to do computer engineering and she took it since her maths was superb anyway, she had other engineering courses in mind but I made her see the prospects in computer engineering. Today she's a network engineer and got a job even before her service was over. Turns out multinationals and other companies with large servers in Nigeria are more comfortable letting female engineers into their server rooms than males.

My mother wants me to study Nursing/MBBS, My talents lies between Computer application and writing.. Before I gain admission, I told them I want to learn a vocation. They allowed me to choose, and I choose Phones repairs. Later, she started to discover my real talents.i.e computer application. She was not against it anymore, she even bought me books regarding computer application.
Currently, am into ANDROID programming(still a learner). And, I will leave for school in this month to study my long term course. (ENGLISH and LITERARY STUDIES).
Also, to the glory of God. I am now a professional in Phone repairs(Hardware and Software). The vocation I choosed by myself really help the computer application talents I had in me to skyrocket greatly.
Had it been she said I should learn vocations that I hate passionately. Things wouldn't have gone so well with me.

allow your sister to go and learn how to code.. and write computer programs. let her learn something that will last a lifetime.

I think you should discuss with her to align, the would-be vocation to her passion. Fashion & designing may be a great idea, but where her passion lies is what matters ultimately.

Your choice was amazing, not everyone is lucky enough to make the right choice. Your eyes were already open to the choices out there even before university. In my time, there was virtually no internet, I lived in a small town and rarely travelled to even see what was happening out there. There was no nairaland or Facebook back then. If I was going to university today, I will do computer engineering and learn dynamic Web applications development before gaining admission.

Introduce her to this thread: www.nairaland.com/1798724/

what's her passion?
