Meet a friend of mine. Salewa is a graduate of micro biology who had great expectations that after her Msc, a mega job would be waiting for her. Two years after her Nysc when no job, not even a ‘minor’ one was coming, she applied for her Masters in UI. Towards the completion of her masters program , Salewa remembered that her mother had always advised her in the past to to be apprenticed to her friend as a tailor. Salewa never liked the idea at that time since she felt such a training was meant for uneducated people. However, when the reality of finishing her Msc without still a job in the offing, dawned on her, nothing seemed more appealing than the idea of making some cool money from sewing for people. After all, Salewa had always lamented about how much she payed her professional tailor each time she had to sew.
Well, unlike the case with Salewa, the need for a training especially after school should not always be necessitated by the need to earn an income. It is advisable that individuals locate their areas of special interest or talents and seek to improve on them through relevant trainings. As such, you would have prepared adequately for future opportunity. The kinds of trainings you can get after school therefore are numerous depending on the following factors- Your talent or special interest and the need you desire to meet. Suggested trainings to get after school include the following- IT training, tailoring, hair making, hat making, baking, beading, drawing, painting, card making, decoration, photography, photo or video editing, event planning, knitting, bag weaving, acting, script writing, directing, public speaking, poultry, fish farming
A final word, you don’t have to wait till after school before you get these trainings, or even pay for them. Maximize every opportunity that comes your way to learn something new or to improve on a craft you already have. Luck, they say, is opportunity meeting preparedness. Be lucky!
