Some success stories don’t just inspire but ignite a fire within us to dream bigger and reach higher. Ugonma’s journey is one of those stories.

What makes her story truly remarkable isn’t just the result but the journey. The bold steps she took, the questions she asked, and the way she turned uncertainty into an opportunity to grow were phenomenal. Her experience proves that with the right training and mindset, even the biggest goals are within reach.
Let’s get into Ugonma’s inspiring journey and the lessons it holds for anyone daring to dream.
A Leap into Business Analysis
When Ugonma joined our Business Analysis (BA) course, she was at a crossroads. She had dreams of entering the tech industry but had no prior experience in Business Analysis or the world of tech. Her background wasn’t directly related to the field, and she wasn’t sure if she could compete in such a demanding industry.
But what Ugonma had was determination. She didn’t just sign up for our program; she came with an open mind and a hunger to learn. From the first class, she was attentive and proactive, soaking in every piece of knowledge and asking questions that showed her genuine interest. We saw her confidence grow as she moved through the modules, mastering the skills that would later set her apart.
At Heels and Tech, we emphasize practical training, and Ugonma thrived in that environment. By the end of the course, she wasn’t just equipped with technical knowledge—she had a solid foundation to take on real-world challenges.
Discovering an Opportunity
After completing her training, Ugonma came across something that piqued her interest: an internship opportunity with a reputable international organization. This wasn’t just any internship; it was a structured program that offered the possibility of transitioning into a full-time role. The stakes were high, but so were the rewards.
Ugonma didn’t hesitate to reach out to us for guidance. She asked thoughtful questions: Would being based in Lagos, Nigeria, be a limitation? Were there specific resources she could explore to strengthen her application? She was honest about her concerns and determined to give this opportunity her best shot.
We reassured her that her location wasn’t a barrier and encouraged her to focus on showcasing the skills and knowledge she had gained during her training. We also provided her with tips on tailoring her application to stand out, emphasizing the importance of highlighting her practical experience and adaptability.
Taking the Bold Step
With renewed confidence, Ugonma went ahead and submitted her application. It wasn’t an easy decision. Applying for an international internship felt like stepping into uncharted territory, but she was determined to try.
Waiting for a response wasn’t easy. The days stretched on, and the uncertainty could have been discouraging, but Ugonma kept her focus. She believed in the process and trusted that the effort she had put in would pay off.
Then came the email that changed everything. She had been accepted into the trial phase of the internship! The organization recognized her potential and was eager to see what she could bring to the table during the program.
Triumph at Last!
The acceptance email was a moment of triumph for Ugonma—and for us as well. She had taken a chance, put herself out there, and it had paid off.
The internship trial phase was designed to identify top talent, with the possibility of transitioning into a full-time role for the most outstanding candidates. It was a competitive environment, but we had no doubts about Ugonma’s ability to shine.
This was the breakthrough she had been working toward. From her initial doubts about stepping into tech to securing this opportunity, Ugonma’s journey showed how far she had come.
Ugonma’s story is a powerful reminder that success often comes to those who are willing to take bold steps. She didn’t let her lack of experience hold her back. Instead, she equipped herself with the right tools and trusted the guidance she received.
Her journey also highlights the importance of preparation. Ugonma didn’t just rely on luck; she worked hard, applied what she learned during her training, and approached the opportunity with clarity and focus.
