Frequently Asked Questions
How is Trek different from legacy college and career readiness (CCR) software products?
Trek offers many advantages over legacy CCR software products:
- Multi-modal Approach: Trek combines a mobile-optimized web experience with immersive VR simulations and a robust curriculum resource, providing a more engaging and connected learning journey. Legacy CCR platforms often focus primarily on web-based tools and information for college readiness, with many students complaining that they are more like homework or a tax on their time.
- Emphasis on Career Exploration: Trek prioritizes career exploration, with a strong focus on interactive assessments, VR simulations, and personalized career matching. Legacy platforms often lean more heavily towards college planning and academic tracking.
- VR-Powered Career Experiences: Trek’s VR simulations offer learners a unique opportunity to experience realistic job environments and tasks firsthand. This immersive approach is not typically found in legacy CCR platforms.
- Accessibility and Inclusivity: Trek’s VR simulations are designed to be accessible to all learners, with features like Spanish language support and closed captioning. Legacy platforms may have limitations in terms of language support and accessibility features.
- Focus on Non-Traditional Pathways: Trek recognizes that not all learners are college-bound and provides support for exploring a wider range of career pathways, including skilled trades and apprenticeships. Legacy platforms often prioritize four-year college pathways and fall short of supporting post-secondary paths like trade schools or apprenticeships.
- Affordability and Value: Trek offers a comprehensive solution at a competitive price point, making it a more accessible option for schools and organizations with limited budgets. Legacy platforms can be expensive, especially for smaller districts or organizations.
- Connected Classroom-to-Career Pathway: Trek is designed to support the entire classroom-to-career continuum, from career awareness and exploration to skill development and job placement. Legacy platforms may have a narrower focus on specific aspects of the journey.
- Continuous Improvement and Innovation: Transfr is committed to ongoing research and development, ensuring that Trek remains at the forefront of career exploration technology. Legacy platforms may have slower innovation cycles

How does Transfr Trek use virtual reality (VR)?
Transfr Trek uses virtual reality (VR) to provide learners with immersive, interactive experiences in various career environments. By incorporating VR into career exploration, Transfr Trek offers a unique and powerful way for learners to gain a deeper understanding of different career paths and make informed decisions about their future. Here’s how:
- Realistic Simulations: Trek’s VR simulations recreate the sights, sounds, and even some of the physical sensations of actual job sites. This allows learners to “step into” different roles and experience the day-to-day tasks and challenges of various careers firsthand. For example, they might perform a virtual surgery as a medical professional, troubleshoot electrical wiring as an electrician, or operate heavy machinery as a construction worker.

How does automated rostering work with Transfr?
Automated rostering synchronizes student, teacher, and classroom data from your school district’s student information system to Transfr through providers like Clever. Instead of manually creating accounts and assigning students to classes, the system automatically syncs your existing organizational structures, ensuring students and teachers access the right content in the right virtual classrooms. Daily synchronization keeps everything current as class compositions change.
