Education
Our Commitment
As an equal opportunity employer, Virtuos sees education as pivotal to increasing social equity. Education empowers young talent and removes a barrier to entry to tech industries such as video game development. We support access to education by providing skills training, scholarships, and employment-oriented courses, especially for underprivileged students.
For example, our three-month paid training program provides talent with hands-on coaching by our in-house experts on AAA game design and development, with learning plans designed and personalized to the individual’s aptitude. Upon successful completion of their program, participants can have the opportunity to join Virtuos as full-time employees and develop world-class games.

University Engagements and Scholarships
We actively establish partnerships with local universities as we believe that it is key to helping the younger generation integrate real-world experiences with theoretical knowledge to achieve holistic learning. As part of these partnerships, we attend career fairs, conduct regular school visits and organize studio tours and industry sharing sessions for students. These events aim to provide students with an inside look at the games industry, the game development process, and relevant technology and software, alongside valuable insights from our employees.
Virtuos also establishes scholarship programs with universities to recognize and reward outstanding university students who excel in their academics. Scholarship programs allow us to make a significant positive impact on the local communities we operate in. Since 2023, we have successfully delivered scholarships to over 250 students, working in collaboration with universities such as Huanghuai University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and Vietnam University of Fine Arts. We look forward to strengthening our partnerships with schools to support the next generation of talent in achieving their aspirations.
Community Programs
Two of our key projects are the Green IT Classroom program and Let’s Go to School Together program. These programs aim to create long-term positive impact by fostering digital inclusion for underprivileged youth, while minimizing our environmental impact by refurbishing and donating used computers. For example, our Shanghai, Chengdu, and Xi’an studios have launched five Green IT Classroom programs in China to date. Sparx* studio, which previously launched two Green IT Classroom programs, now runs a similar initiative called “Let’s Go To School Together.”
Since 2019, the program has seen the refurbishment of 300+ computers and supporting equipment, all of which were donated to schools to benefit 4,500 students. 353 of our employees have also volunteered over 1900 hours to provide learning opportunities in digital art, IT literacy, and reading.
Besides that, we recognize the long-term value of education in increasing one’s environmental awareness. To encourage students to appreciate the environment and stimulate their creativity, we have been participating in an annual environmental-themed art competition since 2021. In 2024, the theme was “All Under the Same Sky in the Eyes of Children” emphasized that global environmental challenges transcend borders, urging us to collaborate for a shared future. A total of 80+ paintings were submitted for the competition by students across China. We will continue to strengthen our commitment and efforts to empower our future generations to come.
