When most Nigerians arrive in the UK, their initial instinct is to find work; any job that pays the bills. There's no shame in that. Survival is a legitimate goal. But here's something you won't hear very often: the job you start doesn't have to be the job you keep. Whether you start in care, warehousing, security, or cleaning, you must view each position as a stepping stone, not a dead end.
The UK offers a well-structured career growth framework, which works to your favour. There are free training classes, apprenticeships, certifications, and online programs available for upskilling and transitioning. However, many immigrants become so preoccupied with their daily lives that they overlook these opportunities. Don’t let exhaustion or comfort keep you stuck. If you want to move from being a health care assistant to a nurse, or from retail to project management, plan it. Learn what’s required, get certified, and move with boldness.
Also, don't limit your employment search to established avenues. Careers in technology, finance, education, logistics, content creation, digital marketing, and other fields await those who are determined. The United Kingdom values qualifications, but it also values experience, skill, and work ethic. So don't sit there saying, "I studied law in Nigeria; now I'm stuck." You are not stranded. You simply need to realign. Sometimes you have to start over. Swallow your pride. The goal is long-term positioning, not quick applause.
Networking is also important. Attend career events. Join professional groups on LinkedIn. Speak up about your hobbies. You never know who could recommend you. And if you detest your job, don't settle. Start applying. Improve your CV, attend short courses to boost your confidence, and explore areas you've never considered. Your talent is transferable. Your experience counts.
Jack’s Undergraduate Empowerment
Your employment should support your vision, not suffocate it. So, work hard, but also work smartly. Keep learning. Keep soaring. Remember, you didn't Japa simply to be stationary. You came to grow, thrive, and elevate. Go for that career change. Prepare yourself for leadership. Do not let fear hold you back.
