Virtual Reality Career Exploration

Job Interview Simulator:  

• This program takes young people through the experience of a job interview, including travel planning, outfit choice, and answering job interview questions in a simulated office environment. Participants receive feedback on key metrics such as speech pace, eye contact, and the length of their responses.  

Work Window: 

• This experience allows young people to choose from a broad range of careers and follow along as an industry professional takes them through the work environment, and day-to-day tasks. 

Depending on the session plan, the VR Career Experience can take anywhere between 20-60 minutes.

Please note that we have six headsets available and can therefore only work with six students at a time.

Job Interview Simulator:

By the end of the lesson, the participant will have a better understanding of how to prepare for job interview questions, manage the administration of job interviews, choose appropriate work attire, and communicate in a job interview.

By the end of the session, the participant will have a better understanding of what their chosen career may look like on a daily basis, straight from the mouth of an industry professional.

We will provide the VR headsets, student worksheets, and lesson plans, and facilitate the sessions.

You will need to provide a Wi-Fi connection, a whiteboard, and a space to complete the simulations on the headsets.
