Remoteli, the tech talent startup based in Ghana, has recently finalized a six-figure agreement with Pathways, an organization committed to transforming the football culture and expanding prospects for young athletes. The objective of this partnership is to narrow the divide between football and technology, presenting a lifeline for players whose aspirations may not materialize on the field.
Samuel Brooksworth, CEO of Remoteli, emphasized the impact of these collaborations, stating, “These partnerships have allowed us to leverage existing networks, promote digital literacy, and generate employment opportunities for a diverse talent pool.” Renowned for revolutionizing the employment landscape in Africa by connecting individuals possessing technological skills to global job opportunities, Remoteli is now extending its mission to empower young footballers with tech expertise.
In alignment with their strategic partnership with Pathways, Remoteli aims to establish a pathway for footballers to cultivate valuable technology skills and access job opportunities beyond the traditional confines of the football field. The collaboration includes a venture with footballer Jermie Frimpong and his Pathways Project, addressing critical challenges in football, reshaping the sport’s culture, and improving players’ skills and workforce prospects.
Additionally, Remoteli’s AI-powered software will play a pivotal role in connecting organizations with footballers based on personality and organizational culture within the framework of this partnership.
