What is XRDI?
The XR Diversity Initiative is dedicated to making the XR community more inclusive. The purpose is to offer introductory up-skilling workshops to inspire under-represented groups to pursue a career in XR fields. Our goal is to actively change the XR landscape by making the community more diverse, fresh and innovative.
XR companies are actively seeking to employ talented developers from diverse backgrounds, but due to an industry-wide skills shortage they are finding it very challenging. A specific need for highly skilled XR developers has been identified, but the barrier to entry to the industry is still quite high. XRDI is helping to bridge this gap in the industry by offering participants free hands-on workshops to help them get their foot in the door.
