For years, Jessica Ighalo worked as a Project Coordinator in the retail sector. Despite her passion for problem-solving and business operations, breaking into the tech industry as a Business Analyst seemed impossible. Job descriptions demanded years of IT experience, Agile project exposure, and technical certifications — all things Jessica didn’t have.
"I felt boxed in," Jessica shared. "I tried free courses and YouTube tutorials, but nothing gave me the structure, confidence, or hands-on skills employers wanted. I knew I had the potential, but I lacked the right guidance."
Discovering The Ighalos Systems
Jessica’s breakthrough came when she discovered The Ighalos Systems through a social media ad. Skeptical but curious, she booked a free consultation. What she expected to be a typical sales pitch turned into a sincere career strategy session.
"The team actually listened to me — to my fears, my goals, and my doubts. They didn’t try to push a course on me. They mapped out a career path I could follow with real milestones," she said.
An Experience That Delivered More Than Education
Jessica enrolled in the Business Analyst Training/Mentorship program at The Ighalos Systems, and immediately noticed the difference from other programs she’d tried. The curriculum blended real-world projects, Agile methodologies, business documentation exercises, and stakeholder management simulations.
The highlights for Jessica were:
Weekly mentorship sessions with veteran Business Analysts in top tech firms
Live case studies and collaborative projects mimicking real business challenges
Career coaching services including resume building, LinkedIn optimization, and mock interviews
Access to a supportive alumni community sharing job leads, interview tips, and career advice
"I wasn’t just studying theory. I was doing the work, learning how to gather requirements, build business cases, and lead stakeholder meetings. Everything we did reflected what I now do every day in my current role," Jessica said.
The Career-Changing Outcome
Within four months, Jessica began applying for Business Analyst positions with the support of The Ighalos Systems' placement team. After just six weeks of job searching, she secured her first BA role with a respected technology services company.
"That first offer felt surreal. It came with a salary increase and opportunities I’d only dreamed of," she recalled.
Within a year, Jessica’s consistent performance and skills earned her a promotion to Senior Business Analyst. Today, she leads requirement-gathering sessions for multi-million-dollar projects, collaborates with cross-functional tech teams, and contributes directly to enterprise-level decision-making.
Why She Recommends The Ighalos Systems
For Jessica, the difference wasn’t just the coursework — it was the community, mentorship, and actionable career support.
"The Ighalos Systems didn’t just teach me Business Analysis. They taught me how to market myself, how to interview, how to build confidence, and how to negotiate. It wasn’t a program — it was a career reset," Jessica emphasized.
