EON Reality, the world leader in AI-assisted Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality-based knowledge transfer for industry and education, announced a new partnership appointing Sakhane Digital Training Centre as a Value-Added Reseller (VAR) to expand access to Extended Reality (XR) learning, immersive education technology (EdTech), and AI-assisted training programs across South Africa—particularly in marginalized and spatially affected communities.
Through this collaboration, Sakhane Digital Training Centre will bring EON Reality’s EON-XR platform to schools, TVET institutions, universities, training centers, community organizations, and employers—enabling educators and learners to adopt VR, AR, and experiential learning experiences that build practical skills and accelerate knowledge transfer in high-demand areas aligned with the 4th Industrial Revolution.
Sakhane Digital Training Centre focuses on digital skills development for educators, scholars, youth, communities, and workforce members of the South African economy. The organization’s mission centers on equipping citizens with practical capabilities in robotics, coding, cloud education, Artificial Intelligence, and other future-ready skills—helping bridge the digital divide and strengthen employability and community development.
Cavall-Ann Elliott, Founder and CEO of Sakhane Digital Training Centre, emphasized the partnership’s focus on inclusion and employability: “At Sakhane Digital Training Centre, we believe access to digital skills is the gateway to opportunity. Partnering with EON Reality allows us to bring world-class XR—Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and immersive learning—into the hands of educators, scholars, youth, and communities. Together, we will bridge the digital divide, strengthen community development, and empower global digital citizens with practical, future-focused skills.”
“EON Reality is committed to making knowledge accessible worldwide, and South Africa’s educators and learners represent a powerful opportunity to scale meaningful impact through immersive learning,” said Dan Lejerskar, Chairman of EON Reality. “By partnering with Sakhane Digital Training Centre, we’re expanding access to the EON-XR platform for AI-assisted training and experiential learning—helping institutions and communities accelerate workforce training and build the digital confidence required for the modern economy.”
The partnership supports Sakhane’s vision of ensuring South Africa’s workforce remains employable, relevant, and active as global digital citizens—while enabling joint-venture-driven growth that expands the reach of high-quality digital training. By combining Sakhane’s on-the-ground delivery and community focus with EON Reality’s immersive, AI-driven XR solutions, the initiative aims to accelerate adoption of modern learning methods that improve engagement, retention, and real-world readiness.
For educators and training leaders, the collaboration provides a pathway to deploy scalable immersive learning modules, virtual labs, and interactive simulations that strengthen comprehension and practical application—especially where access to physical resources and specialized equipment is limited.
