If you fall amongst the category of university students looking only to gain just academic knowledge and haven’t been thinking about some other things that you can do to sharpen your skills to the fullest extent, then you could be missing out on activities that would improve your future career chances and set you apart from other students. In Skyline University Nigeria (SUN), we believe that every undergraduate should be able to go beyond the academics and developed skills that are essential for the survival of any work-life to work confidently in several careers.
Because employers are employing graduates outside their specialization, for the skills they possessed, there, therefore, shouldn’t be anything alien in the idea of a Historian, a Political Scientist, or a Graduate of International Relations working as a Journalist, a graphics designer or a Content/Media Manager. Although there are career paths that demand certain qualifications, such careers like medicine, nursing, and its accompanied profession are likely to stay.
So, whether you need to learn to develop diverse career competency or become business ready throughout your academic Programmeme, our on-campus career-building opportunities are the ideal choice. See some of the opportunities available for SUN students to participate and develop beyond academics, to thrive, belong, create, transform and succeed in several careers.

These can be paid or unpaid and allow interns to learn more about a field of interest while completing tasks or projects alongside full-time employees.
