Our 21st century economy runs on digital networks. Organizations of all kinds depend on a workforce educated to design, build and operate these networks. The Internet of Everything is projected to connect 50 billion things to the internet by 2020.

Analysts expect the information and communications technology (ICT) sector to generate an increasing number of high-skill, in-demand jobs across a broad spectrum of industries. By 2015, it is expected that 90% of U.S. jobs will require technology skills and almost all jobs will be ICT-enabled.

But there aren’t enough people with the expertise to fill these positions. Lots of students and entry level I.T guys are ready to take up the challenge. All they need is the opportunity, and you can provide that by adding Cisco Networking Academy courses to your profile.


According to Industry Canada, ICT was responsible for 9% of Canada’s GDP growth between 2002 and 2012 (Growing the ICT Industry in Canada: A Knowledge Synthesis, 2010).

To encourage employment for Networking Academy students, Cisco encourages its partners and customers to work with nearby academy schools to identify talent, contribute to student development, and strengthen their regional workforce.

Cisco is the acknowledged world leader in networking technology. Its comprehensive Networking Academy education program brings research and outcome based courses to schools, colleges, universities, and nonprofits worldwide.

Courses range from computer basics to advanced networking and prepare students for globally-recognized certifications. Cisco develops the content and provides 24/7 teaching and learning resources. Schools and colleges provide instructors, classroom space, and lab facilities.

Networking Academy is Cisco’s largest corporate social responsibility effort in education. Since 1997, more than 4 million students have taken academy courses, covering a wide spectrum of age, background, and career goals.

Embrace innovative teaching and learning tools. Networking Academy curricula integrate leading edge education theory and tools with the latest global networking technology. A flexible ecosystem trains and supports local instructors without limiting their options, and comprehensive interactive student assessments provide immediate learning feedback.


Ongoing validation ensures an effective, up-to-date assessment strategy.

PH might be expensive, but there are lots of opportunities in that city. Care to know?

Nigeria has been in the business of oil exploration for over 50 years
99.8% of our revenue comes from crude sales. As a result, the Petroleum industry in Nigeria is one of the biggest and most lucrative in the country.

Going by this trend, a lot of professionals seek relevance in the industry by getting educational & professional Education & Certification in key Petroleum areas of the Upstream and Downstream Sector.

While a lot of attention is paid to the upstream sector, we often forget that apart from drilling wells for crude, Petroleum can be utilized for energy.

Having a sea of scholars and professionals in the production sector of the petroleum industry, Many don't realize that there's a gold mine in the petroleum energy sector.




This is a real hot cake; and there's a huge demand for Petroleum and Energy Economics professionals in the industry.

How equipped are you to latch on this opportunity?

I stumbled on a blog and saw this information for the Emerald Energy Institute, Univerity of Port Harcourt.

If you have an ambition to grow a career in the Petroleum Energy & Economics sector, this might help

BiafraBushBoy:
Thanks for this. Let me be bold and send this girl a pm!

By all means do

[color=#990000][/color] Money is not everything to getting it down with women.

Relationship is like marketing, if you don't present yourself to your customer they won't buy.

I used to suffer from this disease called "ShameShying"
until one girl walked up to me and told me straight up, "Boy, you like me, I noticed it, but you're too shy to approach me abi. Be a man that you say you are"

Be bold, walk up to any lady you have feelings for, Say your mind just the way it is.
It's a game of chance

The reply will either be a Yes, No or I'll get back to you.

-What are other replies you get from ladies when you try to woo them?
