What does education for impact mean to THE HONORIS MOROCCO NETWORK?

Hassan Filali, CEO of Honoris United Universities in Morocco, speaks for the Moroccan network of Honoris-affiliated institutions:

“Education for impact means having an impact on the lives of our students through an educational model which does not only provide them with a recognized degree but gives them the skills that employers require. We put ourselves in the shoes of parents investing in their children’s futures and ask ourselves what their return on investment is, by closely observing the job market to monitor salaries after graduation. Our commitment is to add value to our students by equipping them with the resources and skills to be successful in their careers or entrepreneurial endeavors.”
