Joseph Philip

My name is Joseph Philip.

I graduated from the university in August 2012 after spending 11 years and 8 months.

During my internship in the Human Resources department of Nestle Nigeria Plc., Agbara, Ogun State, (September 2005 – February 2006), I developed a turn-around proposal that utilized the advantages to the internet to make recruitment easier and faster as our mode of recruitment then was physical application letter submission and shortlisting.

Been a self-taught person, I started my computer training school in 2007 though having learnt how to design websites since 2005 after a friend inspired me. I ran this for over 5 years before going for my national youth service in 2013, in Katsina State in 2013.

During the 3 weeks camp period, I gave a talk on entrepreneurship & ICT to almost 2000 corps members of the 2013 Batch A; I also trained other corps members for 3 days during the Skill Acquisition Training Week.

I was invited by the State Coordinator of the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) department of the NYSC to give a talk to the 2013 Batch B members in June 2013.

I was appointed the Corps Welfare Officer (CWO) in the secondary school where I taught during my service year.

I trained the teachers in my Place of Primary Assignment (Government Day Junior Secondary School, Funtua, Katsina) in a 1-day seminar on How To Use The Internet To Improve Their Teaching Profession.

I also organized a community seminar in Funtua, Katsina titled “Beyond The Internet Basics.” This seminar had participants from the Nigeria Police Force and various associations within the community. I organized this seminar while working part-time with an NGO named PADEAP (Pan African Development & Education Advancement Programme).

I organized two different seminars for corps members in Funtua on “The Market Place Winning CV” and “After NYSC, What Next?”

I was invited by the NYSC Zonal Inspector to give a lecture to the passing out 2012 Batch C Corps Members on preparing for life after service year.

I was also part of the panel that spoke on preparing for job interviews and also conducted a mock interview for corps members during the 2013 Batch A passing out lectures.

I have trained (conservatively) about 500 people both offline and online in various entrepreneurship and ICT skills since 2007 till date.

I have created more than 10 different courses spanning various fields of life endeavour.

I am presently the Project Manager of Flying Altitude Services, an Online Business Consultancy firm that helps to grow businesses.
