Joel Kiate
Upskilled for financial footing
Joel Kiate, 22, from Abuja, left secondary school in 2019 and has since been striving to gain admission to a tertiary institution. To sustain himself during this period and simultaneously cultivate basic computer proficiency, Joel immersed himself in the world of menial jobs, enduring the challenges that accompanied such roles. Joel once secured admission to a university in the United States. However, the weight of financial constraints dashed his dreams of studying abroad. A friend introduced him to the transformative OnTheJob program.
Skills Learnt
Email marketing, Ideation, Digital and Social media marketing
The high point of his learning experience was an internship that served as a bridge between theory and practice. Building upon the solid foundation laid by the OnTheJob program, Joel successfully transitioned into the professional world by accepting a coveted position as a digital marketer at the esteemed Prudential Corporate Services. Armed with the knowledge and skills acquired, he confidently navigated the demands of his new role, delivering exceptional results.
His current salary surpasses the earnings from his previous menial jobs by over double, marking a significant milestone in his journey towards financial independence. Without the OnTheJob training, Joel says he would likely be unemployed and idle at home.
Currently, proficient in using Mailchimp for email marketing, Joel has not only secured his financial footing but has also created a sustainable path towards his educational goals. With each passing day, he is laying the groundwork for a promising career in the dynamic world of digital marketing.
