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.
