Dear professional who’s trying to increase your proficiency at work so you can earn more or finally transition into a high-income, in-demand global career…
You’ve probably taken course after course, added more certifications to your CV, and you’re hoping that the next one will be “the one” that changes everything.
But let’s be honest—employability is the goal, not more certifications.
That’s the hard truth most people avoid.
🚫 You don’t need another badge.
✅ You need the right combination of skills to deliver results on the job.
There are project managers earning over $100,000/year with practical skills and no certifications…
Meanwhile, you’re on your third certificate, but you’re still not earning in dollars.
Take a moment to reflect on this!
SFW is trusted by 1000+ alumni from 20+ countries Including, Nigeria, Ghana, USA, UK, Kenya, Cameroon and Zimbabwe.
Now that this is established, you’re probably asking yourself:
“So, what are these high-income skills that can earn me over $100,000 a year—and how do I get started?”
Here you go 👇🏽
At I-Train Africa, our Skilled for Work Academy was designed to answer that exact question. The program focuses on three globally in-demand technical career paths you can start building today—no prior tech experience required.
These career paths are part of our Technical Skills Program, and with the right practical training, you can start earning remotely or locally with global clients and employers:
💻 Project Management
🎨 Product Managemnt
📊 Content Creation & Social Media Management
Each of these careers:
✅ Is high in global demand
✅ Pays in dollars or equivalent
✅ Can be entered without a tech background
✅ Has proven career paths with multiple opportunities for growth
But that’s not all…
To truly deliver results and be seen as employable globally, you need more than just technical skills.
👉🏽 That’s where the Workplace Fundamentals program comes in—to equip you with digital, soft, life, and basic tech skills that help you show up like the global professional employers want.
Let’s break it down in the FAQ below 👇🏽
🌟 Backed by 160+ glowing Google reviews, our impact speaks for itself:
✅ 17% of surveyed alumni secured new job opportunities
✅ 38% reported improved job performance through increased digital and tech proficiency
✅ 4% earned promotions as a direct result of the skills gained
Real growth. Real results. 🚀
“They now look at me like a champion on the job. Working in a traditional project management setting where tech tools were not being applied, this program changed the game for me”

Do not stay stuck in your old job simply because that is the only job that will have you – UPSKILL to be competitive.
Q: ❓ Is the technical skills program the only thing I need to be globally employable?
A: No.
To deliver at a global standard and earn global income, technical skills alone are not enough.
You also need Workplace Fundamental Skills (WFS) — the real job-readiness layer that includes:
✨ Digital communication
✨ Soft & life skills
✨ Time management
✨ Remote work tools
✨ Collaboration in digital environments
In short:
📌 You need both: Tech Skills + Job Readiness = Global Employability.
This is why the Skilled for Work Academy combines both — to prepare you to earn, not just learn.
Q: 🌍 What exactly is the Global Career Program (GCP)?
A: The Global Career Program is a specialized training path designed to help African talents transition into remote, high-income careers, and actually start earning globally.
It includes:
✅ In-demand technical skill training
✅ Workplace Fundamental Skills (WFS)
✅ Hands-on projects to build your portfolio
✅ Interview prep & job search guidance
✅ Optional mentorship & support
Think of it as your roadmap to becoming a globally employable talent.
It combines:
🎯 A Tech Skill Program (PMP, PrPM, or CCSM)
🎯 The Workplace Fundamental Skills (WFS) Program (AKA Remote Workers Program or Work-Force Readiness Program)
You’ll finish the program with a practical portfolio, mentorship, certification, and career support.
💡 So what are the high-income, global careers I can break into?
Glad you asked.
Now that we’ve made it clear that certifications don’t guarantee employability, you’re probably wondering:
“What can I learn that actually gets me hired and paid?”
Here you go:
The Skilled for Work Academy offers three core high-income beginner-friendly, globally applicable technical tracks under the Global Career Program:
Product Management 🧪
Project Management 📊
Content Creation & Social Media Management 🎥
These are digital economy roles where African professionals are already earning $1,000–$10,000+ monthly with the right skills, tools, and job-readiness.
🧾 Do I need a degree or certification to start?
No, you don’t.
We’ve seen people without formal degrees or tech backgrounds transition successfully — because results speak louder than certificates.
What global employers care about:
✅ Can you solve real problems?
✅ Do you have the tools?
✅ Can you work in a remote team?
✅ Do you know how to communicate?
The Global Career Program teaches exactly this.
📌 Skills get you hired. Proof of skill keeps you paid.
🎯 How long does it take to become job-ready?
On average, 3 to 6 months of focused learning and practice.
But more than just finishing, what matters is how well you build and apply your skills.
We provide:
🛠 Project-based learning
💼 Resume and LinkedIn support
🎙 Interview prep and portfolio tips
🤝 Optional mentorship & job leads (for premium users)
💼 Can I take both the WFS and a Tech Program together?
Yes — and we actually recommend it. This is what we call the GCP
This is the best route if you want to:
Get hired faster because you’re both technically skilled and job-ready
Be a complete professional employers can trust
📌 When you combine both, you build competence + confidence.

Q: Is learning a technical skill alone enough to secure a high-paying global job?
A: While technical skills are essential, they are not enough on their own to make you globally employable. To truly deliver on a global standard job, you also need Workplace Fundamental Skills – often called job-readiness skills.
These include:
✅ Digital & soft skills (like Google Workspace, cloud computing, communication and AI research skills)
✅ Life skills (like adaptability, professionalism, and time management)
✅ Basic tech skills (like using productivity tools, remote work platforms, etc.)
Think of it this way: Technical skills get you noticed; job-readiness skills get you hired — and help you grow. That’s why we recommend combining a Tech Track with our Workplace Fundamental Skills Program (WFS) and eventually leveling up with the Global Career Program (GCP).

Hello, I’m Dr Aderinsola Adio-Adepoju; I have helped professionals and youths secure over $700,000, won/attracted (personal) 35+ global opportunities worth over $35,000 that took me to 5 continents, and shaped lives for living.

I have been featured in local and international press and media, such as the Voice of Canada, US InStyle Magazine, Women Radio, Tekedia, TVC, Punch Newspaper, and many others. I have several awards and am happily married and blessed with children.

Two powerful forces inspired me to start I-Train Africa.
The first was deeply personal. In 2018, I had just arrived in the UK as a proud recipient of a PhD scholarship. I was confident in my research expertise—but very quickly, I found myself struggling. Despite knowing my subject matter, I lacked the digital and workplace skills needed to thrive in an academic setting. Things as simple as creating proper slides, collaborating online, or delivering effective presentations were real challenges. I felt stuck and frustrated.
Everything shifted when I spent time in innovation labs in Singapore. There, I was introduced to design thinking, and I began picking up essential digital skills—on the job and through various programs. By 2019, I had developed a strong foundation in digital literacy and innovation. At first, I thought I’d bring these new skills back into academia. But I soon realized I couldn’t create the kind of change I envisioned within that system. At least, not yet!
So I made a decision: I would build my own curriculum using design thinking to teach others what I had painfully learned outside the classroom.
The second factor came from the market itself. As I built my businesses, I encountered the same problem every Nigerian and African employer was facing—a painful shortage of skilled workers. Time and again, I found myself hiring people who didn’t have the basic professional or digital skills needed to move the vision forward. It was discouraging.
Instead of complaining, I decided to be the solution. I started with my cousin Kunle. I trained him using the first version of the curriculum I had designed. Within three months, he wasn’t just learning—he was helping me build I-Train Africa.
From there, we tested the curriculum across nine different user groups (secondary school drop out, recent graduates, teenagers, women returning to workforce after a career break, artisan, MSc holder, entrepreneur, NYSC member, SAHM) over the next three years—refining it based on how real people learned and applied the skills. That work has now evolved into our flagship Skilled for Work Academy, built on our tested Workplace Foundational Skills (WFS) program.
Today, that curriculum has empowered over 12,100 individuals across 20+ countries—many of whom are now confidently navigating remote work, career transitions, and global opportunities.
With 3 years of rigorous testing across 9 diverse demographics, our workplace skills curriculum stands out as a proven solution for Africa’s employability gap. As the only academy with a tested and validated approach, we’re poised to empower 10 million Africans, driving meaningful impact and unlocking new opportunities for growth and success.
