In addition to networking opportunities for women who are already working in the XR industry, there is a lack of opportunities for mothers who are looking for a lateral entry into the industry. The existing offers for entry into the industry are aimed at professionals who already have a certain amount of technical knowledge and can find the time to invest at least 10 hours a week in training or further education.
We would therefore like to offer a low-threshold programme that is specially tailored to mothers and their precious time.
We are convinced that more people with diverse backgrounds would enrich the industry. The knowledge, perspectives and experiences of women and mothers have so far been too rarely represented.

ResetDie Probleme des Fachkräftemangels und eines geringen Frauenanteils betreffen die eXtended Reality- (XR-) Branche in genauso hohem Maße wie die IT-Branche. Die Gründe für eine geringen Frauenanteil sind allerdings nicht direkt offensichtlich, da die XR-Branche vielfältig und interdisziplinär ist. Die „XR moms“ Initiative möchte ein Puzzlestück für die Lösung des Problems beitragen und sieht darüber hinaus einen spezifischen blinden Fleck in der Branche: neben Frauen allgemein fehlen auch Mütter im Speziellen, die ihre Expertise und Perspektive mitbringen.
Für die Initiative ist Erwachsenenbildung die Chance für mehr Diversität in den Teams, einen Abbau des Fachkräftemangels und mehr berufliche Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeiten für Mütter.
Dieser Vortrag gibt einen Überblick über die Vorteile für beide Seiten – Unternehmen und Mütter – und weshalb Quereinsteigerinnen und vor allem Mütter dazu befähigt werden sollten, einen Quereinstieg in die XR-Branche zu wagen.
