Volunteering is one of the best ways to get jobs at NGOs. It follows that if you are smart enough to engage an NGO as a volunteer, and can prove your skill and commitment to duty, you can increase your chances to land a more permanent role at the same NGO.

However, in order to make this possible, it is good for you to upgrade your skills on specific areas and one of the easiest ways to do this is through online courses that focus on the skills needed to work at NGOs. When you upgrade your skills, you stand better chances of advancing your career from a volunteer to a full-time employee at any NGO.

Lingo Africa, the foremost human capital development platform in Abuja, Nigeria, has carried out some searches on Alison to discover courses that are relevant to the skills needed for volunteering positions at NGOs. These courses will increase anyone’s chances of working as a volunteer.

Introduction to Project Management – You will learn about the basics of project management. You will walk away having learned the tools and techniques of project management to a degree to manage a small to medium-sized project successfully. This course will discuss the top reasons for Agile project management to be used as well as the most common agile techniques. This module will also cover the types of certifications that can be earned in the field of project management.

Transformational Leadership – You will learn how a leader works with teams to identify needed change, creating a vision to guide the change through inspiration, and executing the change in tandem with committed members of a group.

Communication (Visual and Aural Perception) – You will learn how communication is about more than just exchanging information. It’s about understanding the emotion and intentions behind the information. As well as being able to clearly convey a message, you need to also listen in a way that gains the full meaning of what’s being said and makes the other person feel heard and understood. Effective communication sounds like it should be instinctive. But all too often, when we try to communicate with others something goes astray. We say one thing, the other person hears something else, and misunderstandings, frustration, and conflicts ensue. This can cause problems in your home, school, and work relationships.

Introduction to Copywriting – You will learn the art or occupation of writing text for the purpose of advertising or other forms of marketing. The product, called copy or sales copy, is written content that aims to increase brand awareness and ultimately persuade a person or group to take a particular action.

Introduction to Time Management – You will learn to become the master of your time. We make big plans, set exciting goals, and look forward to completing them. But then, we just can’t find the time. Managing your time effectively is a key skill that makes your personal and professional life much less stressful. This course will teach you great time management techniques, from work prioritization to mindset adjustment.
