NKTA is the platform that fixes that — connecting students, universities, and employers on one verified system so every COOP placement is real, tracked, and worth something to everyone involved.
Why we exist
When a student gets placed at a company in Saudi Arabia today, they physically travel between their university and company five times — carrying printed forms that need to be signed and returned at every step. The professor managing all of this is doing it for hundreds of students at once in a spreadsheet, with no visibility into what is actually happening at any of those companies. The company mentor is supposed to track attendance and evaluate the student. But mentors are busy. So the student fills out their own attendance record, the mentor glances at it and signs, and nobody checks. At the end of six months a student is marked as fully trained — based on paperwork that nobody verified. This happens across every university and every company in Saudi Arabia for over 50,000 students every year.
For students
Students browse verified COOP listings matched to their major, apply online, and track every step of their placement from approval through to certificate — all from one dashboard. No forms to carry. No offices to visit. When your mentor confirms your hours, you see it in real time.
For universities
Coordinators see every student's placement status, document progress, and compliance standing in one dashboard. Automated alerts flag problems before they become emergencies. Company relationships are documented and carry forward each semester — no more rebuilding from scratch.
For employers
Companies post verified COOP listings, receive university-backed applicants, confirm intern hours directly on the platform, and generate HRSD-ready compliance reports in one click. Every action is independently timestamped. The data is finally real.

The team building this
Where we are going
NKTA starts in Jeddah. It expands to Riyadh. And it does not stop until every COOP placement in Saudi Arabia — for every student, at every university, with every company — is verified, tracked, and worth something. Saudi Arabia already has HRDF for recording what happened. NKTA is what makes sure it is worth recording.
