The team consists of educators, web-based training (WBT) specialists, graphic designers and digital experts who all collaborate with a network of specialised service providers.

Holding a controller in his left hand and a pair of VR goggles in his right, Christian Dorn stands in front of a flip chart displaying diagrams and tables: “Three years ago, DB Training, Learning & Consulting began working with Team EVE at DB Systel to tackle VR and AR in an educational context,” he says proudly. “All along the way, we’ve worked closely with the various business units at the DB Group and at DB Systel to develop all kinds of VR scenarios. By the end of February 2020, ten locations across Germany will be equipped with mobile VR technology. Hundreds of employees will then gain access to training scenarios which use VR as a supplementary learning modality. Nico Wiegand, who recently changed careers, is one of those employees. Having originally studied retail sales management, he decided to realise his dream of working in a technical field and completed a driver training programme at DB Cargo.
