Higher Education Tutors – Train the Trainer
Higher Education Tutors – Train the Trainer
StoryFutures Academy training initiative
Train the Trainer was launched in 2020 in response to a skills shortage and a critical need to build a talent pipeline for the UK immersive industry. The overall aim of the initiative is to support the growth and development of UK trainers and talent so that immersive production can fulfil its potential in the UK with a creative workforce that is highly skilled in the use of VR, AR and MR. The scheme provides a unique opportunity for university educators from institutes all across the UK to work together collaboratively, so headway can be made more rapidly to open doors and develop innovative new courses for this new and growing sector.
