How we build the IX talent pool
Action Line 2 rests on three interlocking building blocks. Together they grow new inflow and keep current professionals up to speed.
Scaling from 15 to 30 practice-driven modules, co-developed with sector front-runners and closely tied to real demand from the field.
Training vouchers and open modules that re- and up-skill 10,000 professionals in IX competences over the lifetime of CIIIC.
Around the building blocks: inflow, monitoring & skills
Alongside the three building blocks, CIIIC invests in flanking activities that structurally strengthen the IX learning landscape.
Inflow & orientation
Outreach, taster days and onboarding programmes to attract more young people and career changers into IX education and work.
Labour market monitor
A recurring monitor of IX talent supply and demand so that education providers and companies can act on bottlenecks with data.
IX Skills Framework
A shared reference that describes the IX competences required — the basis for modules, curricula and certification.
Funding within Action Line 2
Learning Communities
This programme connects innovation, learning, and work, enabling professionals to further develop their knowledge and skills in immersive experiences. It involves four-year projects by consortia from research, education, and practice.
Market-oriented Training Modules
These market-oriented training modules help IX creators and professionals further develop their knowledge, skills, and competencies. The practice-oriented modules are aligned with the needs of the labour market and strengthen expertise within the IX field.
Training Vouchers
Within this programme, which is currently under development, vouchers will become available for training and upskilling in the skills required to design, create, and apply immersive experiences (IX).
About this action line
Within CIIIC, Talent & Skills is not only about technology, but above all about people: ensuring there are enough well-trained professionals to develop and apply immersive experiences (IX), now and in the future. This applies across the entire value chain, from creators to professionals in sectors such as healthcare, security, media and education, and across all levels of education. We strengthen the talent pool by fostering collaboration between education, research, industry and public organisations, so that knowledge is more quickly applied in practice and fed back into education. Learning communities form the foundation of this approach, supported by instruments such as educational modules and training vouchers. In this way, we are building a strong and flexible ecosystem in which learning, working and innovating come together.
