CrossKnowledge is proud to support Honoris United Universities, the first and largest pan-African private higher education network, in the development of the Honoris 21st Century Skills Certificate, established to increase the employability of its students by equipping them with the digital and behavioral skills needed to compete in the new world of work in the 21st century for Its 57,000 Students.
Skills developed through 100% Digital Learning
This program, which is accessed entirely online, will train students in the eight skills most in-demand by employers: behavioral intelligence, creativity & design thinking, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, coding, data analytics and entrepreneurship.
For this one-of-a-kind program, Honoris United Universities has chosen CrossKnowledge as a Digital Learning partner. CrossKnowledge was selected for the flexibility and robustness of its technology platform, in addition to the quality and congruence of CrossKnowledge digital content to the objectives of the Honoris program.
The collaboration with Honoris United Universities perfectly reflects CrossKnowledge’s mission: to help schools train their students and businesses to continuously develop their employees so that they are agile, efficient and have the skills required for the 21st century.

For the module that is dedicated to coding and data, the Academic Council of Honoris has selected Le Wagon, a coding school that offers short and intensive coding bootcamps.
A unique program combining the best soft skills and digital skills
The program consists of four 25-hour modules that cover personal, social, digital and entrepreneurial skills, and will be fully integrated into the curriculum of Honoris member institutions. A badge is earned at the end of each module, and a certificate of completion is awarded at the end of each course.
The Honoris 21st Century Skills Certificate is issued using blockchain technology, which guarantees employers the authenticity of the certificate. From Casablanca to Capetown, from Tunis to Abuja, the Honoris network consists of 14 institutions, representing 70 campuses and training centers in 10 countries and 32 cities. The 57,000 students in the community can benefit from access to this one-of-a-kind degree.
