JFFLabs Immersive Learning Impact Accelerator

January 21, 2020

Today’s advances in immersive technologies create new opportunities for companies as well as education and training providers to build engaging, effective, and affordable systems to train talent through simulated environments.

At JFFLabs, we scan markets and work with mission-aligned entrepreneurs and growth-stage companies to accelerate and scale technology-based solutions that are poised for significant social impact and are aligned to important innovations, such as immersive technology. The offerings of growth-stage immersive learning companies range from mobile apps used in traditional classroom settings to alternative learning solutions delivered in a variety of formats, including through employers and via personalized, self-paced systems.

We partnered with Walmart to scan the market, identify great immersive solutions, and work directly with companies that are poised for impact. These companies demonstrated product/market fit and have the ability to deliver meaningful social impact as their businesses grow. Working across JFF and JFFLabs, our Impact Accelerator aligns social impact with the needs of business, education, and workforce systems.

But the impact doesn’t have to stop at the bottom line. These technologies can make training accessible to a wider range of workers and ultimately increase the diversity of the workforce and open up new opportunities for advancement by enabling people to adapt and develop their skills quickly.
