NEW ONLINE COURSE — BECOME THE ULTIMATE PROJECT MANAGEMENT GRADUATE

Are you a pursuing a bachelor’s degree in project management at any university or college in Nigeria and thinking of how to plan your project management career? Or are you a new project management graduate and you’re still confused about how to plan or kick-start your project management career? If yes, then this online course was specially designed for you.
Here are some of the things you would learn if you enrol for the course:
1. Who is an Ultimate Project Management Graduate: A lot of project management students confuse their schooling with their personal education. And one of the major reasons why most of our project management graduates are not so creative is because they failed to invest properly in their personal education while schooling. Your personal education will help you come up with your own ideas, improve your creativity and thought processes, and develop your mindset.
2. How to Start Planning Your Project Management Career as a Student: We will discuss how you can start planning your project management career as a student. We will also discuss some certain things you need to know or do as a student that would help you plan ahead for your project management career.
3. How to Choose and Grow Your Project Management Career with the Right Certifications: You need to read this chapter first before investing your money, energy and time in any certification. We will discuss how you can analyse and choose the right certifications that would add value to your career, be it before or after graduating. If you have also been thinking of how to become a ‘certified’ graduate, this chapter would be of great benefit to you. And no matter the type of project manager you intend to become in the next 5 years, there are certifications you can pursue.
4. How to Build Your Network and Search for the Right Mentors: You will learn how to start building a global network as a project management student and how you can search for and choose the right mentors who would help guide your career. We will also talk about some of the project management membership associations in Nigeria and how you can leverage on them.
5. How to Create a Good Job Search Strategy Before Graduating: Do not wait until when you graduate or are ready for the labour market before you would start thinking of how to create a good job search strategy. I will teach you how you can start implementing a good job search strategy, showcase yourself to potential employers and even attract good job offers before graduating. I would also share with you some of the proven techniques I used in attracting good job offers during my final year and NYSC period.
6. How to Start Developing an Entrepreneurial Mindset as a Project Management Student: I know some of us want to become entrepreneurial project managers in the near future. To do that, you need to develop an entrepreneurial mindset — You need to learn how to discover problems and create solutions. I created this online course because I discovered the challenges a lot of project management students are facing. I also created the project management recruitment platform because I discovered first-hand the job search challenges a lot of project management job seekers face. We will discuss how you can start developing an entrepreneurial mindset even as a student. I would also share with you some true life stories of young Nigerians who started their entrepreneurship journeys while in school.
7. How and Why You Need to Be a Digitally-Savvy Project Management Graduate: We are now in an era where new digital technologies are impacting project management. I would teach you how you can become digitally-savvy. We would also be sharing ideas and discussing how digital technologies such as Big Data, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing, Robotics, and how some cloud-based project management tools are disrupting traditional project management. These discussions would take place on our private group.
8. Getting to Know the Various Project Management Methodologies: Most project management students are aware of the waterfall (or traditional) methodology but unaware that there are other types of project management methodologies. I would enlighten you on the various types of project management methodologies. We would be discussing and sharing ideas on some of their applications.
