Condense, LocalGlobe and ACC are proud to launch a funded scholarship on metaverse development starting January 2023. We’re responding to the growing diversity problem within the tech sector and in metaverse development, relating to a lack of women and people from minority ethnic groups.
“Only one in ten A-Level Computer studies students is female.” Tech Talent Charter (2020)
“In a sample of the UK’s top 16 technology companies of the 152 board positions, only four were held by someone from an ethnic minority background. Of the 39 positions held by a woman, only one of these was from an ethnic minority background.” Colorintech (2019).
Learn how to stream live events into the Metaverse with our new Bristol scholarship
We're offering up to 8 young Bristol creatives the opportunity of a lifetime. You’ll learn how to stream live events into one of the world's most exciting new technologies, the Metaverse.
The successful applicants will take part in a 12 week programme, full of rich and intensive study, completely funded through the scholarship.
“Please apply regardless of your academic background or qualifications and don’t be discouraged if you don’t feel you fit all the criteria! It will be a great learning opportunity as you’ll get to work on some state of the art tech and, above all, it’ll be fun! The Condense team is really welcoming and everyone is there to help and make your time here as beneficial and exciting as possible. There is space for everyone who is passionate and interested in developing their technical skills.”

the same opportunities in life. This is an incredible opportunity to carve out a career in engineering and metaverse content creation. It’s a 12 week fully-funded intensive course, so you will meet other people with similar interests and ambitions, and it could even lead to a permanent job with Condense.” James Tong, Head of People at Condense.
