    From IBM Careers

    IBM Quantum role families

    Current IBM Quantum roles organized into six families — each with the core skills and learning pathway that lead into it. This is the backbone that connects learning to real jobs.

    Interactive

    Role-to-skills mapper

    Select a target role family to map it to the skills, learning resources, badges, projects, opportunities, and best-fit profiles that lead into it.

    Connect the roadmap to readiness

    1 · 2 · 3-year quantum workforce forecast

    Translate IBM's quantum roadmap and current hiring patterns into a staged plan for preparing talent.

    For companies

    Enterprise quantum readiness assessment

    Companies need to know when they're quantum ready. Set your level in each category for a quick, directional read — then act on the recommendation.

    Quantum work is team-based

    Build the quantum team

    Before building curriculum, understand the team required to solve a real quantum business problem. Quantum work is not only for physicists — it takes a cross-functional team.

    For universities

    University quantum pathway builder

    Universities often don't know what skills to teach or what jobs to prepare students for. Pick a target role family to generate a four-year curriculum aligned to real IBM Quantum roles.

    Power-ups on the board

    IBM Quantum assets as power-ups

    Every IBM Quantum resource is an unlockable asset — showing what it helps with, the pathway stage it supports, and the role families it feeds. Generate a pathway and the assets it unlocks light up.

    Measure what matters

    Workforce development outcomes

    Navigation works when learning, community, research, and employment connect. Generate a pathway and the KPIs it drives are highlighted.

    Workforce development is a navigation problem.

    Every learner needs a next best move.

    The ecosystem works when learning, community, research, and employment are connected.

    The goal is not just to train talent — it is to move people from curiosity to contribution.

    The Quantum Career Navigator converts IBM's quantum roadmap into role-based learning pathways and measurable workforce outcomes. It helps learners understand what to learn, universities understand what to build, employers understand what talent they need, and IBM understand how to prepare the workforce required for the next decade of quantum growth.

    The Navigator converts IBM's current and future quantum demand into personalized pathways for learners, curriculum guidance for universities, readiness guidance for enterprises, and measurable workforce outcomes for IBM.
