Problem with Fresh Graduates Not Getting Job Faster – How to Fix It!

Actually the problem with fresh graduates not getting job faster is that they don’t have enough practical knowledge in university, so in time of recession they suffer due to limited knowledge. Sometimes after your undergraduate degree also some students lack soft skills for a particular job due to absence of appropriate experience.

Most of the companies don’t want to spend huge sum of money to train fresh graduates. So an undergraduate student should set his goal at the beginning of his career and work accordingly to develop the required skill set needed for industry. Students can apply to companies accepting I.T students for hands-on experience. Doing this will help in creating more employable candidates.

Industrial Training

Below I have outline  6 Best Companies for Industrial Training in Nigeria, and in case you need assistance on how to go about applying to these companies for I.T placement let me know in the comment box or contact me at [email protected]

ExxonMobil is a well-known E&P Oil Company in Nigeria and is a dynamic, exciting place to do your Internship program. They hire Intern students, and every one of them is exposed to expand their technical foundation and at the same time develop leadership skills necessary for advancement in career.

The program provides hands-on work experience from day one, providing students the opportunity to work directly with skilled personnel.

    • Hello Freedom,
      Microbiology students can do their I.T in almost every industry including oil and gas industry. But If you want to stick to your discipline, I believe you can do your I.T in the following places:
      The medical line and health care, Pharmaceutical companies, Food production companies like Cocacola, Nesttle, Cadbury, Efco, Flourmills and Breweries. Always visit http://www.eduansa.com to get latest updates on I.T opportunities.

      Note: SIWES/IT intake is done Quarterly (commencing 2nd quarter of each year) this means NLNG will ONLY accept Students in April, July and October yearly. Duration for SIWES application remains 6 months (at a stretch) for University students and 4 months for ND students from Polytechnics who have completed their 1st year (ITF requirement ). While Industrial Training (1 year) is reserved for Post ND Polytechnic graduates seeking Admission for HND (NBTE requirement).
