Trafton International Consulting Group
Trafton Int’I Consulting Group is a management consulting company with objective of eradicating racism and inequality education. Currently, we are working in collaboration with Rainier Valley Leadership Academy which is a chartered community school serving 6th - 12th grades. The school is located on 6020 Rainier Avenue South, Seattle Washington.
We work with black and brown scholars in 9 - 12 grades. We encourage and support scholars to create a roadmap that truly reflect their interest, goals, aspirations and what they want to achieve in building a successful life.
Our purpose is to inspire, empower, and provide the scholars a more level playing field regardless of systemic racism and inequality education. Also, we help them to build a mindset of success so that they can have a shot at a better future in the society.
OUR PROGRAM AND SERVICES
- Youth Coaching:
First, we provide coaching to help scholars with self-awareness, confident, personal responsibility, good social skills, strong relationships, and taking charge of their own roadmap to success in life by reaching their full potential.
Our unique approach provides scholars the chance to live a happy and successful life that is a manifestation of hard work, strengths, beliefs, passion, values, and bold dreams.
- Youth Leadership Development:
Second, we help scholars to develop essential leadership skills to include social and emotional intelligence, effective communication skills, collaboration, and relationships to get essential things done and contribute positively to their community.
- Creating Opportunities:
Third, we help scholars to have an open mind set to professional and career opportunities that they can explore in building a successful lifestyle. We want the scholars to act now and take massive and deliberate action towards available opportunities that can enhance their lifestyle.
Here are some of our identified opportunities to include the following:
- Entrepreneurship Program – with emphasis on teaching and helping scholars on how to generate business ideas, owning, and becoming a successful businessperson. By: Skip Roland

We will provide scholars the opportunity to explore different professional job options (construction, CDL drivers, healthcare, retail, customer service, hair stylist, hospitality, chef, catering, bakery, and many more) that do not require a four-year college degree but opportunity for a good lifestyle.
OUR EXPECTATIONS
The success of our program and services is dependent on the scholars and their parents support and encouragement. However, we expect the following:
- Parent’s full support and encouragement of their kids.
- Scholars’ full participation in programs that they sign up to participate in.
- Scholars’ self-discipline, accountability, pride, focus, and self-respect.
OUR INCENTIVES
We are of the strong belief that scholars in our program should be provided reasonable cash or stipend and tangible experience incentives to enhance motivation, results, and success of our program. In addition, we believe the incentives will help the scholars to build character, increase engagement, and higher positive reinforcement.
Here are some of the incentives that we have built into our program for each school year:
- Field trip to Microsoft Corporation Campus, Redmond
- Field trip to the Urban Farm, Bellevue
- Field trip to Washington State University Agricultural Department, Pullman
- Field trip to Nation Reality Company, Kent
- Nominal monetary stipend/award to start scholar’s own business. A panel of three business owners from the community will select the top three best business ideas for awards of $1,000 for first place, $750 for second place, and $500 for third place.
- Nominal monetary/award to market own “Game Apps” for top three best coding gaming software.
- Laptop Computer for enrolled scholars.
- A 7-days cultural awareness visit to Ghana, West Africa. This incentive is subject to scholar’s full participation in our program for the school year.
OUR FOCUS
Our focus is the impact our programs are having in the lives of scholars and their parents. The impact is measured on how effective our program is having on scholars and their parents and we intend to use impact as the base of measurement for success. Engagement in activities is acceptable but our emphasis is on the positive impact of the programs and on the lives of our participants.
