Tactile Technologies has reaffirmed its commitment to youth and women’s economic empowerment by supporting the Womandla Foundation’s Reskilling Revolution Africa (WRRA) – an initiative focused on building real pathways into work.

As a CSI funder, Tactile Technologies is contributing through both funding and active volunteerism, enabling its team to support mentorship, skills development and talent pipeline creation.

“Empowerment does not happen in siloes but exists in strong ecosystem partnerships, access to opportunities and work,” said Sam Gqomo, Founder of Womandla Foundation.

“Tactile Technologies is incredibly proud to support the work that Womandla Foundation is doing,” said Mauro Mercuri, Founder of Tactile Technologies. “Adopting the IBM SkillsBuild platform allows us to support the programme while also investing in our own people. It shows what’s possible when learning, purpose and technology come together. We’re proud to be part of this journey.”
