Our Vision is to make the VR/AR industry accessible and diverse.

For this reason, we created the Beyond Inclusion scholarship program, calling for students to become part of the change, and sponsors to support skill-to-job-ready educational programs for underrepresented talents.

XR Portfolio Projects

At graduation, you will have an outstanding portfolio of 4 self-programmed XR prototypes and one pitch-ready MVP. This portfolio will showcase your XR dev skills to future employers and hiring partners.

Together with XR Bootcamp, we can now offer 100% scholarships to selected individuals from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds.

At CyberXR Coalition, we believe that we need to go Beyond Inclusion and foster a pipeline of talent from diverse backgrounds. It is an effort to create equity and provide BIPOC & historically marginalized minorities with Bootcamp-style training, followed by career development sessions and potential job placement opportunities.

Despite a decade of attention and recent statements of commitment to equitable access opportunities, current data suggests that very little progress has been made in increasing representation across all levels of the tech sector.

These disparities are not just harmful to communities, rather, it is an issue of significant global importance for meeting economic demands. The business case for diversity is very strong. Diversity wins.

Everyone should get a shot at joining the exponentially growing XR job market

In recent years, the immersive technology domain has been experiencing unprecedented growth. The demand for AR/VR engineers has risen by over 1400%, and the big technology companies are competing to secure the best talent. Many organizations are willing to pay large premiums to hire XR developers to stay ahead in XR research and innovation.

However, not everyone has the opportunity to benefit from the growing opportunities in the XR industry. The inclusion of underrepresented groups in tech industries has stalled. 

In leading tech companies, the numbers of women in tech barely reach 10-20%, while African American, Asian/Pacifics, and Latino/Hispanic subgroups range at 3% representation in tech jobs.

While these challenges go way beyond access to education, one of the solutions to ensuring equal representation is eliminating financial barriers to education, especially where representation is particularly low.

To help train more underrepresented groups for positions in XR Technologies, the CyberXR Coalition, X Reality Safety Intelligence (XRSI), and its partner XR Bootcamp are announcing the Beyond Inclusion scholarship program, calling for sponsors to support skill-to-job ready educational programs for underrepresented talents.

It’s important to act before glass ceilings harden and systemic structures become impenetrable for underrepresented creators. Today, non-inclusive tech ecosystems are designed and built in non-inclusive ways from the beginning. When founding groups and members of industry stakeholders are not diverse and noninclusive, they will grow in the same way. That’s why it is important to create an inclusive foundation from the very beginning.
