    • Hi Dalson,
      Thank you for visiting our career center.
      Its advisable to start college and choose a course that you are familiar with or have the passion for it and then once you get the needed qualification then venture into entry level jobs. Here https://goo.gl/44wHeH, https://goo.gl/XlhGLE are the links that will direct you to jobs we advertise in both categories. For this particular program you will find it difficult to sign up because if you read the article they have specified graduates only are to register. However this should not disappoint, go back to school and if your short of money you can get a loan and start your business then save up for your education. All the best and if you need more advice feel free to get back to us.
