Dr Maryam joined Skillher as a youth corper serving at the VTH, University of Ibadan with a dream of advancing her studies and nurturing her aspirations to become a notable voice in the Public Health community. After her NYSC, she’s been able to secure herself a post-NYSC job, a fully funded masters program, as well as an opportunity to cultivate her interest in entrepreneurship and education through a unique role as a school overseer and administrator. Insights gleaned across Skillher meets sessions such as this and this have come in very handy in navigating her remarkable transition. She’s delighted to currently be able to provide her student’s with quality education while pursuing her fully funded master’s program at the University of Edinburgh and continuing to build her profile through a series of Public Health engagements.



2. Kofoworola Akinsola: From Beginner to Advanced

Kofoworola came to Skillher with little experience in Project Management but a lot of determination. Through our programs and an opportunity to learn and practice by job shadowing, she has gained invaluable experience, sharpened her skills remarkably and channeled the same to her professional advancement. Her performance has subsequently secured her opportunities in her career to gain additional responsibilities, make remarkable presentations at an international conference and currently function as a project lead on a major vaccination intervention. Her highlights of completing the Project Management Job shadowing and earning Project Lead role on the vaccination intervention are testaments to the abundant possibilities of upskilling.
