Nice one. Your offer seems pretty cool.

GIL your cost of training is too expensive. How can an average Nigerian youth obtain 450k in this hard times? Reduce the cost please.

Thank you brother. There are just too many schools claiming to teach heaven on earth.

power and plant option

Well bros am not exactly a specialist career adviser, but am gonna drop my own word based on my experience in the field. If you are buoyant enough you can start your career with some professional trainings. Am aware that AETI do have some programmes for power utilities and other mechanical systems. It would make a lot of sense if you have good technical or practical skills on diesel and gas power plants. Am saying this because there are extremely high demands for gas powered generators service engineers here in Lagos and Ogun state. The chinks and Indians doing these jobs here are making a lot of money. And again You will have a good advantage if you have good welding skills. I have met a lot of mechanical guys in the field that are doing some heavy projects that involved complex welding. I mean advanced form of welding. If want also you can still venture into heavy mobile engineering. I have met couple of mechanical engineers in that field making their money taking care of heavy duty automobile systems. Like I said before am not a career adviser specialist, just saying from what I have personally witnessed. Thank you.

This last statement got me wondering " What’s the need of it all if you’ll have to go and pick a skill after all the academic struggles?”

Carmal90:
sorry, pls as a graduate of mechanical engineering pls what kind of job can I attach myself to, to gain d required experience. NB HND graduate

What's your option in mechanical engineering? I believe mechanical have automotive, mechanical production and refrigeration options.

Bros you are on point like a decimal. I can as well liken this to my situation. Am also in the field of engineering. Most of the engineering jobs openings are basically for experienced engineers and most firms are no longer willing to train new graduates. So I started out with a shitty job with meagre pay just to get the necessary experience. Am currently with the third firm now, experience and pay has been increasing as well. New graduates must be willing to swallow couple of bullsh*tz along the ladder. He that cannot endure the bad can never see the good.

I'm so wowed with all I've seen on here, ranging from offices and field personel, I duff my hat for y'all.

I studied Electrical Electronics Engineering with a flair for control and Instrumentation and electromechanics... Basically, I'm the type that likes to sweat and get his fingers dirty.

I recently just got called to a job... Two actually but the first is with a penta company (Marine and land) offering stipend...emphasis on the stipend and the other is a microfinance offering more.

I'm confused as to which to go with cos the before I have a flair for and but can barely take care of transport and feeding which in turn means I'm working for free.

The later is around Apapa but not in tune with my career path.

Wiser ones, pls advice... Speak to me!!!

Most a times its always that way. Getting stuck between two options. Sticking to your career path and ensuring you are passionate about it is always the best and fun as well. It may take time in yielding rewards but when it starts you are definitely gonna be wowed. Experience matters a lot in engineering. I once worked in a firm that literally pays me nothing but am enjoying skills I learnt from them those days now. But if your situation is extremely critical and you must survive, then take the one with the pay. But you must never loose focus. Always update yourself in technological knowledge. Save some cash for technical trainings having in mind you are gonna get back to your field ASAP.

This hoax rears its very ugly head every few years and it is back and still not
true. Scientists have not created a hybrid life form of "Human-Dog," which
supposedly is a cross between the DNA of a human and a canine, That story claims the creatures are a hot item for "super rich people who like collecting unique pets." However, the magic of a Google image reverse search revealed that these are real sculptures by Australian artist Patricia Piccinini. In fact, it was her hyperrealist artwork that was used to perpetuate a previous human-dog hoax in 200

Am familiar with sick sensors but I didn't see anything training in Nigeria. May be I missed it.

A room mate?? Nah. Am barely coping up with flat mates talk more of a roommie.

Control...Process automation. The world is getting more industrialised and even Nigeria too. More industries are being established. My field is industrial automation and its fun. Control, process, industrial automation experts are in high demand in the manufacturing and oil sectors. Good luck minus jonathan.

So are you currently studying in India?

One chance!

O boy! Thunder fire poverty and owu-ite!!

1. DEMONSTRATE YOUR WORTH AND
VALUE AS AN EMPLOYEE.

The process of gaining respect from
both colleagues and superiors begins
from the moment you first enter the
workplace, and you must immediately
demonstrate an understanding of your worth and unique value as an
employee. This must not only be
reflected in the salary that you demand from your managers, but also in the way that you undertake your role and add value to the business through the completion of individual tasks that fall within your job description.

2. INTERACT WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES
AND CARE AbOUT THEIR LIVES.

Even with the best of intentions, our
lives can sometimes take an unwanted or potentially disruptive turn. This can make it difficult to attend work with a smile and a proactive attitude, but this is crucial if you want to retain the respect of those around you. By continuing to interact with your colleagues and taking a genuine interest in their lives–even during times of hardship–you are displaying an eminently human quality that commands the good will of others.

3. SPEAK CALMLY AND LISTEN TO
OTHERS.

Respect must always be a mutual
concept, as you cannot hope to gain it
without offering it in the first instance.
It is therefore crucial that you remain a good listener at all times, and take the opinions of others on board before
taking a direct action or decision. On a similar note, you must always speak
calmly when interacting with both
colleagues and superiors, as otherwise you run the risk of alienating them and developing a reputation as someone who is difficult to work with.

4. ALWAYS SMILE DURING TIMES OF TRIUMPH.

While the world of work can be
challenging, this should not detract
from those occasions where you
achieve a goal or successfully complete a project. It is important to celebrate these moments, both as an individual and as part of a larger team. A warm and positive smile serves to underline a job well done. This will help to foster greater levels of morale over time, while it will also cement your position as a popular and well-respected employee.

5. DEAL WITH ADVERSITY IN A SIMILAR
MANNER.

Just as professional sportsmen are
tested more in defeat than they are in
victory, so too the average employee
must dig deeper during adversity than in times of prosperity. You must treat both of these entities with a positive and proactive attitude, and maintain your smile even during challenging and difficult times. Your ability to maintain a focused and level head will only boost the esteem in which you are held; this is also a key attribute to have in the business world.

6. GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF
DUTY.

Whenever you start a job, you are
given a basic salary and a job
description that outlines the tasks
under your control. As you develop
relationships with those around you
and earn greater levels of responsibility, however, you must be
willing to operate outside of these
boundaries and do more than is
expected of you. Whether this is
covering for an unforeseen absence or
completing a project within a specified
deadline, your willingness to go above
and beyond the call of duty will ensure that you remain well-respected among your peers.

7. MAKE COLLABORATION A KEY ASPECT
OF YOUR WORK LIFE.

On a similar note, there may also be
instances where it is necessary to work on a collaborative project with different colleagues and departments. This can be challenging, especially if you are unfamiliar with their working methods or prefer to operate on an independent basis. Earning universal respect requires you to communicate with people across multiple levels,
regardless of status or pre-existing
relationship. With this in mind, you
must always be open to collaboration
and strive to work effectively with any
kind of team.

8. ESTABLISH BOUNDARIES AND
UNDERSTAND YOUR LIMITS.

Achieving respect in the workplace is a delicate balancing act, as while you
must be willing to take on additional
work and collaborate, it is also
important that you prioritise your own
professional goals. You must strive to
understand your limits and establish
boundaries as an employee, as this
ensures that your position is never
compromised by taking on too heavy a workload. If you fail to do this, you will quickly find yourself overwhelmed and at the mercy of more selfish and
manipulative colleagues.

9. PRACTICE THE VIRTUE OF PATIENCE.

Professional respect relies on your
ability to showcase both compassion
and understanding, as you must make the most of your colleagues’ strengths while also making allowances for their weaknesses. Everyone brings a unique skill-set to the workplace, while each individual also works at his or her own pace. It is crucial that you are patient
when dealing with colleagues and
superiors, as this enables you to
become a productive and respected
member of a multi-layered organisation.

10. AVOID THE PERILS OF OFFICE GOSSIP.

While office gossip can occasionally be
fun and even insightful, it must be
avoided at all costs if you are to be
respected as a trustworthy and
conscientious employee. Not only does a willingness to engage in gossip
suggest that you are incapable of
discreetly managing potentially
sensitive information, but it also
creates the impression of someone who has a less than dedicated approach to their work. Neither of these attributes are likely to inspire respect within the workplace, especially if you are based in a relatively small office where
behaviour can be easily analysed.

11. DEAL WITH CONFLICT IN A PROACTIVE AND MATURE MANNER.

Rather like gossip, conflict is an
inevitable and yet unpleasant aspect of any busy workplace. While the former can be avoided, the latter cannot and it is how you handle professional conflict that determines whether or not you are likely to earn the respect of your colleagues. By adopting a proactive
approach and confronting such conflict
in a mature manner, for example, you
can achieve an amicable resolution and
easily earn the respect of those around
you. This is crucial; it can also help to
strengthen professional relationships
over time.

12. BECOME A PROBLEM SOLVER.

As I touched on earlier, professional
respect can also be achieved simply by
adding unique value to the workplace.
While you can do this by undertaking
your role tenaciously and effectively, it
is also possible to become a talented
problem solver with skills in analytical
thinking, strategizing, and negotiation.
Every workplace needs a proactive
problem solver, so by taking on the
mantle and fulfilling this need you can
gain new found respect among your
colleagues.

Can someone not within Lagos and Ogun buy the videos and learning materials from you?

The Lime 'Rick' and Giyaz dudes nailed it for me. Delivery is 100%.

olasun4u:
Good day,
Please which international certification can I get on automation and control?

you can hardly see a good automation and control training firm in this country. The only one I have ever heard of is Applied Engineering Technology Initiative Ltd. They are located at Bode thomas street Surulere. I don't know how good they are though but you know we Nigerians and our mediocrity in terms of technical education. If you are well loaded with cash, then google SMECLabs. An automation firm in India. They are one of the best and somehow affordable.
