Tactile Learning’s story began in early 2000 when Founding Director Gordon Kelly visited a community initiative in Los Angeles called the Dream Centre. Gordon saw firsthand the impact that training and skill development can have on the lives of people, and was inspired to establish his own RTO with the goal of breaking the unemployment cycle.
Over the past two decades, Tactile Learning has evolved into what it is today–a provider of tactile training experiences that involve hands-on learning coupled with support and mentoring. We provide these programs to schools because we have found that working with young people has the biggest impact – we fell in love with the difference that training can have at this stage of life. Some encouragement and support during their high school years can set a student’s life on a completely different trajectory. And that is a really exciting and inspiring journey to be a part of.
