EDTK Stock Partners with WTH

The collaboration will combine the company’s expertise in vocational education with WTH’s market leadership in regional flexible staffing. This is hoped to better serve both talents and employers.

Details of Collaboration

WTH has agreed to share corresponding revenue with the company as consideration.

Scope of EDTK Stock’s Partnership

A research report by iResearch has pegged the flexible staffing market in China at roughly USD$100.58 million in 2020. This valuation is expected to grow at a compound rate of 25% until 2025. Many flexible staffing platforms in China lack the technical advantage and brand awareness to capitalize on the huge market potential. Accordingly, the combination of a flexible staffing platform and a skill training platform will serve as a solid foundation to build brand awareness and establish technical barriers.

Synergistic Cooperation

The company hopes to effectively increase its user stickiness and boost revenue with the provision of vocational skills training that is commensurate with the actual needs of employers.

The partnership will also allow WTF to replicate this model and facilitate an overall expansion to other regions.
