Help define the future of work
Transfr clients are using VR solutions — and more — to shape the future of career readiness and workforce training. As more graduates and job seekers look for career path alternatives outside of the traditional four-year college track, educational institutions and other training providers need to change to keep up.
Join Transfr CEO Bharani Rajakumar and a slate of Transfr clients and industry experts for this exciting one-day conference.
“Our customers and partners do amazing work to get people on pathways to upward mobility,” said Bharani at last year’s conference. “I’m excited for everyone to see and hear how our customers are driving innovative models in learning and development by leveraging Transfr’s platform.”
Meet (and be inspired by) Chris Gardner
International best-selling author and award-winning film producer Chris Gardner’s story (portrayed by Will Smith in the movie The Pursuit of Happyness) has inspired millions. Chris Gardner is bringing his unique energy and message of hope to XR Futures this year. Hear how dreams can transform your life and leave energized, as we all redouble our efforts to build a better world.
“I think Transfr is going to revolutionize education,” Chris says. “By bringing different types of career exploration and training and education opportunities across the spectrum of possibilities into any classroom!”
Build community; connect with experts
Innovative Transfr partnerships like the Electrical Construction Rapid Training program and the Allen County Juvenile Center emphasize that a robust combination of services and organizations is needed to truly build effective pathways for job seekers to secure employment.
Attend panels exploring how impact-driven initiatives are transforming local communities, creating more accessible career pathways, and boosting job retention. There’ll also be ample opportunities to connect with educators, industry leaders, and policymakers to discuss transformative policies that equip people with skills for the new economy.

Explore VR innovations for justice-impacted individuals
VR technology can offer unique benefits for justice-impacted individuals of all kinds. Transfr’s own Kate Kimmer has worked tirelessly for years to help people from a variety of backgrounds change their lives and make the most of their lives post-justice involvement.
“We have an opportunity to invest in justice-impacted people,” Kate says. “Given a second chance and the right support, they’ll return this investment many times over.”
At XR Futures, you’ll get a window into the innovative ways VR and other services are being used to provide second chances and job training for justice-impacted individuals, drive change, and offer real-life success stories.
Workshops and hands-on experience
Participate in “Birds of a Feather” workshops to engage in peer-to-peer learning and explore specialized topics that matter to your organization alongside other professionals in education, training, workforce development, and more.
Exclusive look at the Transfr product roadmap
As the training needs of tomorrow’s workforce continue to change, we at Transfr continue to evolve what we do and how we do it to help as many people as possible. XR Futures attendees will get a sneak peak at the Transfr roadmap, including new simulations, content, and other innovations!
“We’re constantly pushing ourselves to deliver the best possible experience to our clients and the people they serve,” says Bharani. “2025 is going to be our biggest year yet! We’re excited to share what’s on our roadmap and what clients can expect in the new year.”
Workforce and training policy discussions
Building a better tomorrow is a bipartisan issue. Hear from officials from various offices and backgrounds about the transformative policies shaping the new workforce economy. Whatever your organization does and however you do it, a deeper understanding of the policies coming down the pike can help you do it better.
Success stories from educators and community innovators
Transfr clients are out there every day, working with real people to help them make positive life changes. Get an inside look at how they do things and come away with new ideas and inspiration for your programs with firsthand stories from organizations like Alabama Works!, the Greater Ohio Workforce Board, Franciscan Health, and Claiborne County Schools. These organizations and many others use VR to transform career exploration and workforce development — hear their stories.
“Transfr is a new approach to engaging our audience in career exploration and training in real-world simulations,” says Janell Comstock, Grants Coordinator, Ohio Means Jobs Area 15. “I think this will help our workforce in big ways!”
