Thirty students have successfully enrolled in the Foundations in Business certificate course of the Management International University (MIU) in Tripoli, Lebanon. The training, student participation and engagement are facilitated and moderated by SHiFT, a social innovation hub leading the transformation of post-conflict and marginalised zones towards peaceful and prosperous communities in Tripoli.

Students recently submitted their midterms, completing 12 weeks of the course! This online course also involves weekly meetings and discussions regarding essential management and leadership tools.

Week 10 of In-Person Discussion Session (Friday 13 August 2021 from 2-4 PM)

New Paragraph

We are in Week 14 of the Foundations of Business course with the Management International University (MIU), and the participants have shown significant progress.

In this week’s discussion session, facilitated by the teacher assistant @amani.nashar, the participants reconstructed previous content they had completed within the course.

They learnt how to write a business plan with our special guest speaker Joseph Awad, a senior officer with INJAZ, who provides business plan TOT and delivers entrepreneurship programs. This discussion provided the participants with ways to define and organise a business, carry out an effective plan, and think of alternative ideas to sustain a business during challenging situations.

Congratulations to our outstanding students who have successfully completed the "Foundations in Business" course, provided in partnership with Management International University (MIU).

After 4 months of dedicated learning, the course was wrapped up with a graduation ceremony, where the teams comprised of 3-4 students each presented their final projects in front of a panel of NGO activists, who gave feedback and critique of the final business plans.

Following this, speeches were delivered by MIU President, James Holmes, and SHiFT Executive Director, Rabih Omar. They stressed the primary role of the youths being to help a nation develop and move towards progress. Towards the end of the ceremony, the students received certificates of Higher Education.

We are very proud of each of you and inspired by the perseverance and positivity you have shown throughout the course.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

OMAR RUSIAN

I would highly recommend this course to other students. Overall, this course met my expectations for the quality of information it provided, regardless of me being a business graduate, this course has opened up doors I haven't explored before. This class has refuelled my interest in this field of study once again.

CEDRA HASSAN

This is not my first experience with MIU and I look forward to participating in other opportunities offered by this university.

AHMAD SHOGRI

Thank you so much for a wonderful course. I believe now that I have a better understanding of international management which I can apply in real life.

NOUR EL SET

First of all I want to thank you for giving me the chance to enlarge my knowledge (you know that I am a nurse so that’s something not related to business, but it was really helpful to strengthen my skills because being a nurse is also being a leader or manager). The course was good overall and your support was literally great and I can’t forget to mention your follow ups as well. Looking forward to benefit from each piece of information I am going to learn from the next course.

DOAA TATINE

This course was very important to me. In a short period of time, it helped me to review the basic concepts of business management and marketing, that I had previously taken at the university, and the content was very easy and organised. This course also helped me to understand the nature of management within organisations operating in a multicultural environment, as well as to think about management at the international level, not just the local level.

MUHAMMAD ABBAS

This was a very interesting course for me, I think I have learned a lot from it, the flexibility was quite helpful and I appreciate the efforts put into the course.
