25 YEARS IN TRAVEL; WFS TAUGHT ME HOW TO WORK SMARTER.

Mrs. Chika, Managing Director and CEO of High Stakes Travels and Tours Limited, already had over 25 years of experience in the travel and tourism industry.

But experience doesn't mean there is nothing new to learn.

Through I-Train Africa's Workplace Fundamental Skills (WFS) Program, she learned how to use digital tools including Canva, Google Workspace, and AI tools like ChatGPT.

In fact, she jokes that ChatGPT has become her PA.

More importantly, she began applying these skills directly to her business.

She now creates professional travel flyers, develops stronger social media content, structures campaigns, improves customer engagement, and uses digital tools to build stronger relationships with clients.

She also learned how to plan and organize her work more effectively using planners, to-do lists, and structured project management approaches.

One project she's particularly proud of is the travel-themed wallpaper currently displayed in her office, which she designed using the Canva skills she gained through WFS.

For an experienced professional, WFS wasn't about starting from scratch.

It was about upgrading the way she works.

Because the workplace keeps changing.

And no matter how much experience you have, the ability to combine that experience with modern digital skills can make you more effective, more productive, and more competitive.

Experience gives you the foundation. Practical skills help you build on it.

I thought NYSC would be the place where I would finally gain experience.  Instead, I realized I had already started gaining it before NYSC even began.

This week, while working on a task at I-Train Africa, it hit me that confidence doesn’t suddenly appear after graduation. It comes from being trusted with real work, communicating with people, making mistakes, following through, and doing small things consistently.

That’s the part of my NYSC journey I didn’t expect.
If you’re a corper right now, you’ll probably understand this feeling.

This is episode 4 of documenting my NYSC life at I-Train Africa.

Every result has a beginning. Before a program is launched, before content is published, before a partnership is announced, a room like this exists first.

Ideas are questioned, strategies are refined, different perspectives collide until one clear direction emerges.

This is one of those moments.

The work that becomes visible often starts with conversations that never make it to the timeline. a meeting, a whiteboard, a discussion that lasts longer than expected. A team committed to getting it right before moving forward.

Behind every initiative, every program, and every outcome at I-Train Africa is a culture of collaboration, intentional planning, and shared purpose.

This week reminded me that balancing NYSC and real work isn’t as impossible as it sounds.

I had NYSC responsibilities to keep up with, and at the same time I had messages from the OGE community waiting for replies. For a moment, I honestly wondered how I was supposed to manage both.

Then I realized I had already been practicing the skills that were helping me through communicating with people, staying organized, following up on tasks, and showing up consistently.

I used to think NYSC was where I would start learning how to work.

Now I’m realizing that experience can start long before your service year is over.

This is episode 3 of documenting my NYSC life at I-Train Africa.

If you’re a corper right now, I think you’ll relate to this one.

One of the hardest things about graduating is realizing that doing everything “right” is not always enough.

You can spend years in school, earn a degree, get good grades, complete NYSC, and still struggle to get interview calls. That experience can make anyone feel frustrated, confused, and even question their worth.

The problem is not that graduates are not intelligent. The problem is that many were never taught what employers actually look for before the interview stage.

A degree proves that you completed a course of study. Employers, however, are looking for something more: communication, workplace professionalism, problem-solving, collaboration, digital workplace skills, and the ability to contribute from day one. That is the difference between being qualified and being employable.

This gap is costing thousands of young people opportunities every single day.

The good news is that employability is not a talent; it is a skill that can be learned and developed.

The gap between qualification and employability is costing young people opportunities every day.

Close that gap, and everything changes.

I APPLY FOR MORE JOBS NOW BECAUSE MY CONFIDENCE HAS CHANGED.

Esther Iyabo Ogbonna had always wanted to grow professionally, but there were workplace tools and digital skills she struggled to use confidently.

Then she took the Workplace Fundamental Skills (WFS) Program at I-Train Africa.

The experience changed how she approached her career.

She learned how to use workplace and digital tools that had previously felt unfamiliar to her. More importantly, she became more confident in how she presented herself professionally and how she positioned herself within her industry.

That confidence changed her approach to opportunities.

Today, Esther applies for new jobs more frequently than she used to—not because she suddenly became qualified, but because she now has greater confidence in her ability to contribute and compete.

She is also intentional about building relationships and networking with people in her industry, creating opportunities to learn, connect, and grow.

For Esther, WFS was not just about learning tools.

It was about becoming more confident in her abilities and more willing to pursue the opportunities she once hesitated to go after.

Sometimes, the skill you need most is the one that gives you the confidence to finally put yourself forward.

That is what practical workplace training can do.

"Watch Us Support An Adult Learner 1-on-1 Who Is Struggling With Google Form Usage".

This is Terseer and Happy. If you’re wondering what’s happening in this video, here’s the story.

They’re both part of our Student Success Unit at I-Train Africa, and their job goes far beyond answering messages.

Every day, they work with learners who are navigating new digital tools, online platforms, assignments, and workplace technology for the first time.

The learner you’re watching was having difficulty using Google Forms.

Instead of sending a tutorial link and moving on, Terseer sat down and walked the learner through it step by step until it became clear.

That moment may look small, but it represents something we care deeply about.

At I-Train Africa, we believe that no learner should be left behind because they are confused, older, less experienced with technology, or asking what others might consider a “basic” question.

Whether you’re a fresh graduate, a corps member, a working professional, or an adult learner returning to education, clarity is part of the learning experience we provide.

Behind every course is a team whose goal is simple: make sure every learner succeeds.

This is one of those behind-the-scenes moments most people never get to see.

Completing the WFS programme is one part of the journey.

Before we say a learner is job-ready, they have to demonstrate that they can apply what they have learned in practical workplace situations.

The goal is bigger than completing training.
We are preparing people to become globally employable and ready to contribute in modern workplaces.
That means I-Train Africa assesses competence, not attendance or certificates.

Communication is one of the first things a global employer evaluates in a candidate.

✔️Can they communicate professionally?
✔️Can they write a clear workplace email?
✔️Can they contribute appropriately in meetings?
✔️Can they maintain the right professional tone?
Through Workplace Fundamental Skills (WFS), learners practise professional communication and research, then demonstrate how they apply those skills.

Global teams work across digital platforms every day.
Can they use the tools a real job requires?

Through WFS, learners practise with tools such as:
Google Workspace • Slack • Zoom • Canva • Miro • ChatGPT
The real test is whether they can use these tools to complete workplace tasks.

A global workplace task comes with instructions, deadlines and an expected outcome.
Can the learner understand what is required, structure the work, complete it and follow through with minimal supervision?

Through WFS, learners gain practical experience with:
SOPs • Proposals • Meeting Minutes • Task Lists • Gantt Charts
These are foundations for professional ex*****on in modern workplaces.

Across these areas, we look for evidence of:
✓ Professional communication
✓ Digital workplace skills
✓ Task ex*****on
✓ Collaboration
✓ Professional conduct
✓ Follow-through
The learner has to demonstrate these capabilities in practice.

So when a learner completes OGE, it represents more than showing up for a course.
They have gone through Workplace Fundamental Skills (WFS), practised the required skills and demonstrated their ability to apply them.

That is what we mean by workplace readiness and that is the kind of capability global employers evaluate.
A certificate can show that someone completed a programme.
Readiness shows up in what they can actually do.

That is why WFS focuses on developing and demonstrating practical workplace competence.
For a parent investing in preparing their ward to compete for opportunities with local and global employers, that distinction matters.
Workplace readiness should have evidence behind it.

Through Operation Get Employed (OGE), undergraduates, corps members and graduates with 0–2 years of work experience can access Workplace Fundamental Skills (WFS) and build practical workplace skills they can apply in the real world.

This is the kind of practical preparation that can help your ward become a globally employable professional.

WFS is currently open for enrolment at ₦107,500.
