Skill Shikshya Partners with Straw Holdings to Open Internship Pathways for Students
8 Oct 2026Skill Shikshya, a future-driven upskilling platform reshaping IT and digital education in Nepal, proudly announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Straw Holdings, a Kathmandu-based, AI-driven digital marketing agency and accredited Meta Business Partner serving clients across APAC.
This collaboration is built with a clear vision: to move Skill Shikshya students from the classroom into real workplaces. Under the MoU, Straw Holdings will offer internship placements to Skill Shikshya students, giving them hands-on exposure to how a full-service digital marketing agency plans, buys and measures advertising across Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn and Spotify.
What This Partnership Unlocks
This collaboration creates a direct value exchange. Skill Shikshya students gain a pathway into real internship roles at an active agency, while Straw Holdings gains access to trained, motivated talent that has already built practical skills through Skill Shikshya's industry-led programs.
For Skill Shikshya Students
Students who complete Skill Shikshya's programs can be placed into internship roles at Straw Holdings, where they work alongside professionals on live, real-world marketing work rather than practice exercises.
What interns can expect:
- Hands-on experience in a working digital marketing agency
- Exposure to paid media across Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn and Spotify
- Mentorship from professionals running live campaigns
- Real project experience they can add to a CV and portfolio
- A clearer pathway from training into a first professional role
For Straw Holdings
Straw Holdings gets a reliable pipeline of job-ready interns who have already been trained in practical, industry-relevant skills. The partnership also helps the agency build relationships with the next generation of digital marketing talent in Nepal.
From Skill Shikshya
"From learning to impact, building talent that drives innovation. Our goal is to make sure our students do not just finish a course, they step into real work. This MoU with Straw Holdings gives them a direct route into an agency where they can apply what they have learned from day one."
