Volunteering is one of the best ways to get jobs at NGOs. It follows that if you are smart enough to engage an NGO as a volunteer, and can prove your skill and commitment to duty, you can increase your chances to land a more permanent role at the same NGO.

However, in order to make this possible, it is good for you to upgrade your skills on specific areas and one of the easiest ways to do this is through online courses that focus on the skills needed to work at NGOs. When you upgrade your skills, you stand better chances of advancing your career from a volunteer to a full-time employee at any NGO.

Lingo Africa, the foremost human capital development platform in Abuja, Nigeria, has carried out some searches on Alison to discover courses that are relevant to the skills needed for volunteering positions at NGOs. These courses will increase anyone’s chances of working as a volunteer.

Introduction to Project Management – You will learn about the basics of project management. You will walk away having learned the tools and techniques of project management to a degree to manage a small to medium-sized project successfully. This course will discuss the top reasons for Agile project management to be used as well as the most common agile techniques. This module will also cover the types of certifications that can be earned in the field of project management.

Transformational Leadership – You will learn how a leader works with teams to identify needed change, creating a vision to guide the change through inspiration, and executing the change in tandem with committed members of a group.

Communication (Visual and Aural Perception) – You will learn how communication is about more than just exchanging information. It’s about understanding the emotion and intentions behind the information. As well as being able to clearly convey a message, you need to also listen in a way that gains the full meaning of what’s being said and makes the other person feel heard and understood. Effective communication sounds like it should be instinctive. But all too often, when we try to communicate with others something goes astray. We say one thing, the other person hears something else, and misunderstandings, frustration, and conflicts ensue. This can cause problems in your home, school, and work relationships.

Introduction to Copywriting – You will learn the art or occupation of writing text for the purpose of advertising or other forms of marketing. The product, called copy or sales copy, is written content that aims to increase brand awareness and ultimately persuade a person or group to take a particular action.

Introduction to Time Management – You will learn to become the master of your time. We make big plans, set exciting goals, and look forward to completing them. But then, we just can’t find the time. Managing your time effectively is a key skill that makes your personal and professional life much less stressful. This course will teach you great time management techniques, from work prioritization to mindset adjustment.

Good afternoon

Let’s look at it this way – as a living and breathing person, you have goals, you think about them, dream about them and can literally feel them come alive in your mind. So, how can you make sure that you remain intentional about your career goals?

At Lingo Africa, the foremost human capital development platform, we believe that everyone, regardless of age, gender, social status, or financial capability is capable of making their career dreams come true. Look at all the people you admire, none of them had it easy to get to where they are, they just did not give up and they were pretty intentional about where they were going.

What is it about being intentional, though? It is just the disposition you have about your career that enables you to never give up and to map out steps you need to advance your career and stick to them, regardless of stumbling blocks and challenges.

As you are now, you are capable of planning and deploying strategies to achieve your career goals. No one will help you achieve them. It is time to move on from the dreaming stage and figure out what it will take to get where you are going.

Do you need to do any of the following;

Meet more people within and outside your industry?

Apply for various scholarships and fellowships?

Send out tailored job applications?

Write a business plan?

Prepare an online course?

Attend a seminar or conference to learn more about a subject matter?

No matter what you have to do, figure out the steps you need to take to make it a reality, and follow those steps religiously. This is what makes you an intentional person and when you do achieve your goals, it becomes easier to stay intentional and achieve even more.

Michael did not want a mentor. He had been through a really bad experience trying to land a credible mentor several years back and since then, he swore off trying to get any mentor. He had been able to navigate his career for five years and he currently occupied a good position.

He wanted to run a consultancy business, but he did not have any inkling as to how to go about it. Although Michael had a job, he truly wanted to consult for other people in his industry because he was concerned about making a positive impact in his line of work.

Michael was active on social media and he followed quite a number of knowledgeable and credible people on his platforms. While reading up on social media, he soon learned that in order to succeed in taking his consultancy business off the ground, he needed credible people to speak up for him and vouch for his abilities and skills.

Soon, thereafter, Michael got connected with a popular and credible industry expert, who used his platform – social media and speaking engagements to call his audience’s attention to Michael and his skills as an expert in his field.

This was how Michael was able to get his consultancy business off the ground.

If you are thinking about one of the best ways to get your business going or grow your career, you should try to open your mind to getting credible people to speak for you and influence people on your behalf.

It is good to have skills and talents, but, these days you need to get attention from the right people, and if you know someone who can bring in the attention of the right people, the better for you.

At least, you will be able to easily convince them when you already have their attention, based on recommendations from someone or people they trust. It is this same ideology that brands use brand ambassadors for. It works every time!
