Skills Help You Compete Locally and Globally

In the new world of work, Nigerian youth are not just competing with each other. They are competing with peers in Kenya, India, South Africa, and beyond. Skills give you a chance to earn from anywhere, not just from your local area.

If you can design, write, manage digital ads, or offer virtual assistance, there are platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and LinkedIn where clients from across the world are hiring. What matters is that you are ready to learn, apply, and stay consistent.

When most young people think about building a career or securing opportunities, their minds quickly go to resumes, degrees, certifications, and high-paying jobs. And yes, those things matter. But in the early stages of life, one powerful tool is often overlooked: volunteering. Volunteering is sometimes misunderstood. Some see it as “free work” or just a way to pass time. Others think it is something people only do when they are idle. But the truth is, volunteering is one of the most valuable decisions you can make as a teenager or young adult.
