Alumna interview: "I consider myself an eternal apprentice"

Published on 06 August 2020

Hailing from Morocco, Laila Benhassa chose to pursue her studies in France at SKEMA and graduated in 2009. She talks to us about her professional journey so far, the challenges she has faced, and the rich academic experience that set the tone for the rest of her career.

Can you tell us about your education and work experience?
After taking science A-levels, I attended a business school that is rather well-known here in Morocco: the National School of Business and Management (ENCG). Then, because I have always really liked finance, I wanted to gain more knowledge in that field, so at the time I joined the SKEMA BS Master in International Financial Management programme. I chose this school because it is very well-known internationally and I had heard very good things about it. Since graduating from SKEMA I have been working for Orange in Casablanca as a Wholesale Team Leader.

What stands out the most for you about your studies at SKEMA?
SKEMA delivers a really high standard of education. First of all, I was fortunate to have teachers who were excellent, because of the way they taught, the quality of their teaching materials, and their professionalism.

They were people who had worked in the corporate world, so were familiar with the reality on the ground. This was evident in their classes, which combined theory and practical application, something that is very important in a specialised master’s programme.
