The digital skills development arm of the Institute of Cost and Management Accountants of Pakistan, an Institute chartered under Cost and Management Accountants Act No. XIV of 1966 of the Parliament of Pakistan.

Developing Workforce of the Future in Digital-First Careers

69 million jobs of future are projected to emerge in the next 5 years*. Large scale job growth is expected in education, emerging technologies skills (e.g., AI & Machine Learning, Data Science/Analytics, Data Engineering, Digital Transformation, and Cybersecurity) and digital commerce and trade. This is projected to create a significant digital skills gap in the Global North.

While in the past, companies brought people to work, technological advances are increasingly causing a shift towards remote work and geographically distributed teams.

A combination of the projected digital skills gap and an increasing acceptance of the use of distributed teams in the Global North is creating new digital export opportunities for the Global South.

We aspire to motivate the top quartile of young adults in the Global South to develop their professional careers in digital-first careers that can help them become a part of the global supply chain for digital skills. Additionally, our ambition is to play a pivotal role in enhancing digital skills of working professionals in the private and public sectors.

Our Distinctive
Hybrid Learning Approach

Given the objective of gaining international acceptability of ICMA Digital certifications, we have adopted Transnational Education (TNE) approach.

In partnership with internationally credible players, we use global learning content that is taught by an international faculty member or a subject- specialist from the industry.

Accounting & finance subjects are taught in a traditional face-to-face class format. Modelled on international benchmarks, learning of digital skills takes place using live-online classes in which a cohort of learners meet on pre-agreed dates with their assigned subject-matter expert coach.

What sets us apart is our focus on developing job-ready skills. The use of hands-on projects play an important role in developing these skills.

Our Education Partners

Transnational Education (TNE) Colleges

 In partnership with selected TNE colleges in Pakistan and the GCC region, ICMA Digital plans to offer its differentiated four-year ‘professional pathway’ leading towards a professional designation as an alternative to the four-year ‘academic pathway’ offered by international universities.

Pakistani Schools in the GCC Region

There is a large Pakistani diaspora in the GCC region and a notable portion of them have their families with them.  Most children of Pakistanis resident in the GCC are studying with the Pakistan community schools that are often overseen by Pakistani Embassies. ICMA Digital is in talks with multiple Pakistan schools in the GCC to enter an alliance partnership to offer a professional career pathway in jobs of future.

CMA Pakistan has a physical footprint of 10 educational campuses around the country and approximately 20,000 registered students. Its faculty consist of more than 450 educators with professional background.
