In the past four years, Squline has been working with several B2B clients to provide foreign language training for staffs

Jakarta-based language learning platform Squline on Tuesday signed a partnership agreement with the Indonesian academy for prison warden (Politeknik Ilmu Pemasyaratakan, Poltekip) in Depok, West Java.

Under the new partnership, Squline will be a provider of foreign languages training programme for the school’s cadets, particularly for English language.

In a press statement, the startup said that they have been working with B2B clients in the past four years, but have started actively expanding to the B2B segment since last year.

Poltekip is their latest client in the B2B sector.

“We see the demand of foreign languages course in the private and institutional and even government sectors has been increasing rapidly, most of them has been learned in a less effective way because of being burdened by their work, or their daily tasks,” said Squline CEO Tomy Yunus.

“Following those demands, we are ready to grab the market in Indonesia. Therefore, starting last year we are actively expanding our business by targeting the B2B segment,” he added.

It claimed to have secured “more than” 1,000 students in Indonesia, particularly from Java and Bali.
