WELCOME TO FOUNDATION FOR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT |
|
 We operate a vocational and technical training center for unemployed adults, youths in between schools, teenagers on vacation, physically challenged youths and others who may wish to have a skill to empower themselves.
Training covers both business management skills and practical vocational training.
Our center is housed on 2 plots of land and has 8 training rooms with capacity to train 200 people at a time. The vision of the center is to empower about 5000 people yearly with skills that will transform their lives, cause them to be self employed and this in turn will take at least 20,000 people OFF the streets. 
This is because each person trained, subsequently becomes an employer of other people. This multiplier effect has been observed in those that have been trained. Its all about discovering talents and abilities. |

 On the 25th November 2008, Foundation for Skills Development Donated Educational materials to Students in Public Schools in Lagos State.
It was an awesome moment. Each school received over 1000 books and other educational materials ranging from charts, writing materials, school bags and technical drawing sets.
These materials are clean, but used textbooks and other educational materials that were found to be very useful for disadvantaged children. The educational materials were collected from companies, homes and schools.
The event is yearly and FSD will move from one local government area to the other.
