Company profile
researched Aug 2026Ediphi is a hospitality workforce training company that combines immersive virtual reality modules, AI-driven feedback and international internship placement into a single learning platform. Its product is organized around three audiences: universities, which can align VR modules with their curricula, manage cohorts and track student progress from a central dashboard; companies, which can tailor learning paths to specific roles, monitor employee development and access reporting on skills and readiness for advancement; and individual learners, who progress through goal-based learning paths, earn and track certifications, and receive real-time performance feedback.
