2017
Poise, Eloquence and Cash
2017 was a year we can never forget! Our maiden event was tagged (poise, eloquence and cash) this event was put together in collaboration with “Omalicha” a personal and professional branding organization.
The event was organized with the objective to provide teachers with a personal and professional makeover, so they could monetize, leverage, and optimize their craft as educators. All attendees were mentored for the subsequent three months free of charge!
Later in the year, we introduced our on-line mentoring program for educators and school leaders. This has been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling services we have delivered to date at Coreskills.
Another exceptional experience in 2017 was attending and facilitating some events organized by our mentee alumni.
Our mid-year courses were facilitated on line. Topics included: classroom leadership, and creating and leading a high-performance inspiring learning environment,
In October, 2017 we had our second live event, “Classroom to Consultant”. It was indeed a grand event as teachers and school leaders who desired to become consultants were empowered in the seven core areas of educational consultancy.
The seven core areas that were explored were:
1) The business of educational consulting
2) Staying relevant
3) Testing the waters
4) The art of communication
5) The science of consulting
6) Leveraging on technology
7) Branding
We rounded up the year with an online course in December entitled planning and goal setting course for educators.

School Stability and Growth
Our focus for 2016 was to help school leaders attract and retain quality teachers, for School stability and growth.
2015
Parents Trainings
A major milestone we achieved in 2015 was training parents on phonics. This event was “life transforming” as a lot of our attendees (parents) were able to teach their children with the right techniques of learning how to decode words and read with ease.
2014
Teachers Trainings
2014 was the year we started on a very positive note in January, being invited to deliver training for teachers at multiple schools in and around Lagos.
2013
School Owners Trainings
In 2013, we were concerned about how school owners were running their businesses ineffectively, and how we could help them maximize and make good use of their resources. We delivered training sessions on” Running your school without financial stress”, and “Building structures and systems for your school”. 2013 was also a very memorable year for us because we started gaining profile in the industry. We were invited to speak at Parent/Teacher association meetings and student orientation gatherings.
2012
Phonics Trainings for Teachers
In 2012, we partnered with a United Kingdom non-profit organization called the African Legacy to establish and implement phonics training for teachers. The goal was to enable and empower children in the rural communities in the northern states in Nigeria by effectively teaching them how to teach the children in their care how read and write using the phonic approach.
