Educational Requirements
Paper Qualifications you need for Engineering Jobs are:
- Foundational degree is always accepted maybe like an HNC or HND most preferred BSC but furthering your educational say to a PhD or Master’s level is usually an added advantage to your promotion.
- Skills in the required fields are usually considered.
- Experience: in most companies, before you get employed, you must have gotten a degree of experience in the field to back up your educational qualification.
- Your level of knowledge is also tested to prove efficacy. Gaining an educational qualification in most companies is not a guarantee that you are well equipped. You may have to undergo a test before you will be employed to work there.
- Some courses include a year in the industry. Alternatively, you could organize your own work placement within a company. After completing your training, you could then go onto higher-level courses like an HND or degree, or progress to a higher apprenticeship, like advanced manufacturing engineering.

How to Apply For Job Recruitment?
Application for employees are usually announced online or on TV but in cases where they are not announced, you can do yourself the favour of checking in some companies that may not post notice boards even though they need workers.
Note: These companies will never require money of any sort from you, so if you come across some sites demanding money from you, then know it’s not genuine.
- You could apply online by sending your application to these companies via their domain with a scanned copy of your CV bearing your passport.
