Inspiring Tomorrow's Leaders
St. Michael Skill Trade College equips graduates with certified technical and vocational skills — building careers, creating entrepreneurs, and transforming communities across Nigeria and beyond.
St. Michael Skill Trade College was founded on the conviction that practical, skills-based education is the most direct path to economic empowerment. Located in Badagry, Lagos State, we have been serving our community since 2012 — equipping young Nigerians with certified trade skills that open doors to sustainable livelihoods.
We believe education is not only about acquiring knowledge, but about developing character, creativity, and the capacity to contribute meaningfully to the world. Our programs blend rigorous theory with hands-on experience, ensuring every graduate is job-ready from day one.
From welding workshops to fashion studios, our modern facilities and dedicated instructors create an environment where ambition meets opportunity — and where students discover what they are truly capable of.
Everything we do at St. Michael is guided by a clear set of values that shape the experience of every student, faculty member, and graduate.
To provide high-quality technical training and skill trades in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment — building a foundation for lifelong professional careers at affordable fees.
To develop well-rounded, confident, and responsible individuals who achieve their full potential through Technical and Vocational Training across Africa and beyond.
We are committed to academic excellence, integrity, and service to society — ensuring each graduate leaves with the tools, confidence, and credentials to succeed independently.
We hold ourselves and our students to the highest standards — fostering a culture of continuous improvement in everything from instruction quality to workshop facilities.
Honesty and transparency guide every interaction — with students, parents, and the community — creating a culture of trust that students carry into their professional lives.
We invest in Badagry and Lagos State by creating graduates who employ others, serve their communities, and contribute to Nigeria's economic growth and self-sufficiency.
Each program is designed to produce self-sufficient graduates ready to enter the workforce or start their own enterprise from day one.
Real students, real training — a glimpse inside St. Michael Skill Trade College
Our success is measured by the lives transformed and the businesses our graduates build.
Before enrolling in the Solar and Electrical Installation trade, I had interest but no professional direction. The training transformed my understanding of electrical systems, solar design, and safety standards. Today, I confidently install solar inverters for homes and small businesses. I now employ two apprentices and contribute meaningfully to sustainable energy in my community.
The Carpentry and Furniture Making training provided me with both technical and business skills. I learned furniture design, machine handling, finishing techniques, and customer management. After graduation, I established my own workshop producing beds, wardrobes, and office furniture — achieving financial stability and respect within my community.
Enrolling in Welding and Fabrication was one of the best decisions of my life. The training equipped me with practical skills in arc welding, metal fabrication, and safety practices. Today, I work independently on gates, tanks, and industrial fabrication. My standard of living has improved greatly, and I am recognized as a skilled professional.
This Fashion Designing training turned my passion into a profitable career. I gained professional knowledge in pattern drafting, garment construction, and fabric selection. Since completing the program, I have launched my own fashion brand and design outfits for weddings and corporate events — with a strong, growing customer base.
