Facebook continues to work for his newest project of the future, the metaverse. If a few weeks ago the social network announced the intention to invest more than 50 million dollars in the next two years, it is now known that its plan will involve the hiring of 10,000 highly skilled jobs in Europe in five years.
The company founded by Mark Zuckerberg was already on everyone’s lips last July when he announced his intention to invest in the metaverse, which involves the creation of virtual spaces where users can work, communicate, learn, create, buy and play without leaving home.
Vice President of Global Affairs Nick Clegg and Facebook Vice President of Core Products Javier Olivan have indicated in a release that “the metaverse has the potential to help unlock access to new creative, social and economic opportunities,” adding that “Europeans will shape it from scratch.”
The executives also noted that no company will own and operate the metaverse, further highlighting that the collaboration of companies, developers, creators and legislators will be needed.
For all this, Facebook has announced that they are launching a plan to create 10,000 highly qualified jobs in the European Union over the next five years, as they consider that “Europe is very important for Facebook.”
According to Facebook, Europe has a large consumer market, world-class universities and top-quality talent, as well as leading companies in various fields.
The social network has also mentioned the role played by European policy makers who are “leading the way to help incorporate European values such as freedom of expression, privacy, transparency, and people’s rights in the daily functioning of the Internet. ”.
For all this, Facebook has indicated that it needs highly specialized engineers so they trust to be able to work with the European Union to be able to find workers with this profile.
