Before we proceed, note that One of the reasons why the rate of unemployment is very high in Nigeria is because almost everybody wants to have white collar jobs. Very few people are actually engaging in skills and handwork. We go through schools at all levels only to come home and sit down and hope that one day employment will come our way instead of learning a skill.

I believe that one of the ways to reduce unemployment rate in Nigeria is for parents to introduce their children to skills and give them a platform where they can showcase their God given talents especially in this holiday period. Thar is why we’ve decided to share this idea with you;

Top 10 Lucrative Skills in Nigeria Your Kids Should Learn

1. Shoes And Bag Making.

As we all know, Fashion can never go out of line. People make use of shoes and handbags on daily basis. everyday the demands for shoes and handbags will be on the increase. Therefore, engaging your children in shoes and bag making in this holiday period will be a very good idea. If not for anything, let them know how it is been done from scratch and trust me it will be a great help for them in the near future.

2. Youtube

According to the latest YouTube statistics, the video-sharing platform has 2.3 billion users worldwide as of 2021. This makes YouTube the most popular social media platform after Facebook.

Not only is YouTube the second-most popular social media platform, but it also holds the same title for search engines.

YouTube is the second-most popular search engine right after Google. In fact, it receives more searches per month than the likes of Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, AOL, and Ask.com combined.

I can go and on with YouTube. In the nearest future, owning a YouTube channel will almost be synonymous with having a LinkedIn account. It will be a platform employers would find out more about potential hires and their talents and skills.

Operating YouTube is pretty easy, with your supervision, your teenager can create their YouTube channel or you can co-create one with them and start creating videos on topics they love.

In a few years to come, YouTube will really be saturated, so the time to jump on this moving train is now.

3. Culinary skill

Culinary skill has to do with anything related with cooking. So, put simply, culinary arts refer to the art of preparing, cooking, presenting and serving food. This may often be in the form of meals in a restaurant, but culinary arts can refer to all professions that involve preparing, cooking, and presenting food.

If your child is curious about how delicious meals are made or has some form of love for making food or food itself, culinary skills could be a great fit for them.

Learning to make dishes professionally is one of the lucrative skills a child can learn during this summer holiday that would be of immense value for them.

Mind you, your child doesn’t necessarily have to a chef if they learn this skill, they may use it for personal use or other opportunities might open up in the future – who knows who will be the next world-known connoisseur

 

4. Artificial Intelligence

If you are a parent and you want your child to learn a skill that will be most useful for them in the nearest future, then Artificial Intelligence skill is top on this list for you.

AI is rapidly changing the landscape of work, making it an exciting time for programmers looking for something new.

Hiring growth for AI practitioners grew 32% between 2019 and 2020. Because of its increasingly widespread adoption, AI specialists earned LinkedIn’s #1 emerging jobs spot in 2020 and are #15 on their 2021 list of jobs on the rise.

As a parent who wants the best for their kids, this information point to the fact that AI is a good skill for your child to learn. So, make your findings and enroll them in AI classes in the next

5. Cake Baking

Cakes are been used in all forms of event because almost everybody loves to eat cake. The demands for cake is always high because people celebrate everyday. And that’s why you should engage your children in cake baking in this holiday period. Some of the cake experts you see making names and good money for themselves today started learning when they were little. So your child is not too small to start developing his or her God given talent or skill.

6. Basic Microsoft Excel

As kids grow to become teenagers and young adults, one digital skill that would be most beneficial to them is Microsoft Excel skill.

What is Microsoft excel? Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. It features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables, etc.

Your kid could start learning the basic excel skills this next holiday. If they love graphs and drawings, trust me they will love it. If not, let them try still.

Basic Excel skills include common Excel keyboard shortcuts, using cell references, styles, and ranges with data. Different view options like zooming in or out and showing formulas, and basic spreadsheet formatting also belong to the basic skill set for Excel.

When recruiting new hires, top employers prioritize candidates with Microsoft excel skills among other things. So, learning this lucrative skill is big deal for any smart kid right now.

7. Musical Instruments

If as parents, you noticed that your child loves music a lot, then you should consider getting a musical instrument and a music teacher for him/her. There are varieties of good musical instruments children can learn and make huge difference in the space of six weeks. Your child can learn how to play a saxophone, violin, piano, guitar and so on. You must engage them because you don’t know what the future holds.

 

8. Graphic Design

This is another profitable skill that can sustain an individual if he or she is good at it. Most acclaimed graphic designers even with the help of available software do messy jobs. Acquire this skill and you may not wish to work for anyone in your lifetime. Graphic designers are good at telling stories in images and texts. The best of comics are created by graphic designers. This skill can easily be outsourced and on a daily basis, novelists, writers, columnists, bloggers, magazines require the services of graphic designers to better buttress their stories.

9. Blogging

This remains a profitable business if done right. Some Bloggers make as much as a six-figure income monthly, others make less or more. When you are knowledgeable enough in a particular niche, then you alone can decide what your earning potential could be. But for you to monetize well, you need to register your own domain name and host your own blog, that way, you will be limitless with options to monetize with, either through affiliate marketing, ad networks, or sale of e-materials.
