Upskilling Helped Boost My IT Career

As documented by Dolapo Olaniyan

I live in Lusaka, Zambia, where I am a software developer at RCCG Information Gateway. I received a bachelor’s degree in banking and financial services from Redeemer’s University, and I have a wealth of experience as an information technology consultant. 

I decided to upskill myself because I realized I lacked some advanced-level skills to grow professionally. To help improve my work performance, and enrolled in Simplilearn’s ITIL 4 Foundation Certification Training Course. One of the features I like best is the course provided a flexible schedule, which allowed me to learn while working. After completing the course, I received new projects with a 100% increment on my salary. Suffice to say, my experience with Simplilearn was terrific.  

For fun, I love to play piano and guitar. Professionally, I am skilled in Microsoft Word, PHP, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), HTML, and Teamwork. Going forward, I aspire to be a professional coder.
