In 2024, we started a free learning initiative designed to provide computer literacy to our factory associates. This January, we celebrated our first two graduating classes! This is much more than just a certificate; it’s an opportunity for our factory and production team members to expand their knowledge and skills and to open doors towards furthering their aspirations.
Over the last 2 years, Empower IT too has grown, with recognition by the National Vocational Qualification System (NVQ) and the launch of the Advanced IT course. 19 of our production and factory team members are already leveling up to the advanced stage!
Sri Lanka still has a lower national computer literacy rate of 38.4% (Source: Department of Census and Statistics, 2025). But we are committed towards Making the World A Better Tea, starting from our home at the Dilmah Tea headquarters. With initiatives like this, we are committed to ensuring that no one in our workforce is left behind.
