Our Mission: Where Skills Meet Opportunity
In Nigeria, thousands of skilled artisans work every day — building homes, designing clothes, fixing machines — yet their knowledge rarely reaches classrooms.
At the same time, technical schools struggle to find qualified hands-on trainers, leaving students with theory but no practice.
SkillBridge NG exists to close this gap.
We connect experienced craftsmen and women with schools that need real-world training. Because education shouldn’t happen in isolation — it should be shaped by those who do the work.
Founded by: Amarachi Nwachukwu
I am a TRCN-certified teacher, educator, and believer in the power of practical skills to change lives.
I hold a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) in Curriculum and Teaching from the University of Calabar, where I studied how students learn best — not just in textbooks, but through experience. I also earned a National Diploma in Banking and Finance from Osun State Polytechnic, giving me a unique blend of educational insight and financial pragmatism.
In 2024, I became a certified teacher — not just to complete a qualification, but to commit myself to transforming how Nigeria sees technical education.
I saw a painful disconnect: schools begging for skilled instructors… and master artisans sitting nearby, unrecognized, underused, and unheard.
So I created SkillBridge NG — a platform built on one belief:
“Every artisan is a teacher. Every student deserves a mentor.”
This isn’t just a website. It’s my promise to elevate the dignity of labor — one trained student, one empowered artisan, one school at a time.
What We Stand For
- 🛠️ Dignity of Labor: No skill is small when it builds a nation.
- 🎓 Real-World Learning: Training that prepares students for actual jobs.
- 🤝 Trusted Connections: Verified artisans. Reliable placements. Clear communication.
- ✅ Integrity: Honest partnerships between schools, artisans, and communities.
Expanding Horizons: Learning Beyond the Classroom
At SkillBridge NG, we believe that real skill isn’t just taught — it’s experienced.
That’s why we go beyond matching artisans with schools. We organize guided exposure trips to places like Computer Village (Alaba International) — Nigeria’s bustling hub of innovation, repair, and digital enterprise.
Imagine a student who learns phone repair theory in class, then walks into Computer Village and sees dozens of master technicians diagnosing faults, replacing parts, and coding firmware — all in real time. That moment changes everything.
We arrange periodic field visits where students can:
- Observe live repairs and troubleshooting sessions
- Interact with certified technicians and entrepreneurs
- Learn about sourcing tools, pricing services, and customer care
- Get hands-on practice under expert supervision
- Explore career paths in hardware, software, and digital business
For our coding learners, we integrate these experiences too — showing how software powers devices, apps, and businesses thriving in Nigeria’s informal tech economy.
This exposure doesn’t replace classroom learning — it completes it. It turns fear into curiosity, doubt into confidence, and dreams into plans.
Because when a young person sees someone who looks like them building something powerful… they start believing: “I can do that too.”
