Very soon I'll be graduating from Social Work from one of the Federal University in South South Area of Nigeria, I know it's not a very popular Course in Nigeria because most people don't know what we do.

Now I want to know what next to do, What certifications to take related to my field of study, to be able to drive in smoothly

Suggestions on Where can I do internship, Volunteer and Graduate Trainee in Nigeria

Please if you have an idea or know someone who worked in an NGO, please drop all information. Thanks

Studying Social Work is not a bad idea, but you must get a very good grade to attract employers as a graduate trainee. In recent times, your qualification doesn't matter but your proficiency, smartness and cognitive level can be the game changer. I had my first and second degree in Social Work in Nigeria. Afterward, applied to different companies as graduate trainee and I was called for different test and interviews, which I eventually got an offer as community liaison officer in an oil and gas company. Just 2 month in the job, I was assigned to work with the account department to assist on some back logs. This opportunity was a game changer, as I was able to match others in performance, speed and accuracy. In no time I was converted to the department and made a Supervisor handling inventories and it had been an amazing experience. I have added other certifications to my resume and presently doing another Masters in Human Resources and planning to get certified by CIPMN. This will open better opportunities in future as learning is a continuous adventure.

Traveling is good but, but once you don't have enough to secure this, you might be living in illusion. You can try out Brandon University Manitoba. The university is relatively cheap and they have Post Graduate Studies in community Development, which I was once admitted for but unable to secure the study permit because of an unfair decision by the ECO.

Just put your best in your studies and graduate with a very good grade with the above stated qualities, you will never regret it, if you hustle smart and pray for God's favour.

Nice idea?
SURE, YES...EXPERIENCE IS VERY IMPORTANT IN THE FIELD. EVEN IF YOU WANT TO TRAVEL ABROAD YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD WILL BE AN ADDED ADVANTAGE. WHILE YOU ARE IDLE, @ OP VISIT THE MINISTRY OF YOUTHS AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN YOUR STATE AND VOLUNTEER.
