Skillmount, the rising star of the ed-tech world in the Middle East, has announced its partnership with SAFT, a Saudi Arabian company providing accounting, finance, and tax solutions. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the Middle East’s educational landscape, enhancing opportunities for students and professionals alike.

Ameen Afsal, director of Skillmount, and Saad Syed Jaish Al-Shareef, CEO of SAFT, signed the memorandum of understanding on Sept. 1.

As a platform that has rapidly gained prominence in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, Skillmount is known for its expert-led online courses on taxation, VAT, and corporate finance. With this new alliance, SAFT steps in as Skillmount’s knowledge partner, offering a wealth of expertise and internship opportunities specifically tailored for students in Saudi Arabia. This collaboration bridges the gap between education and industry, providing learners with real-world experience that propels them toward career success.

Skillmount’s reputation as a dynamic ed-tech platform is cemented by its recognition from Dubai’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority. As the region navigates the intricacies of VAT, introduced in 2018, and the corporate tax framework established in 2023, the demand for skilled accounting professionals has surged. Skillmount stands at the forefront of preparing job seekers for these high-demand roles, both in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

For those aspiring to launch or elevate their careers in the Middle East, Skillmount’s four-month online courses offer a fast-track to success. Learners are not only equipped with cutting-edge knowledge but also gain access to coveted internship placements at some of the region’s top institutions. Now with SAFT onboard, Skillmount graduates are quickly becoming the preferred choice for employers seeking top talent in the fields of accounting and taxation.

“Skillmount isn’t just an ed-tech platform — it’s the gateway to your dream job in Saudi Arabia and beyond,” the company said in a statement.
