What is Permission to Dream 2.0?
Transfr’s innovative VR training and career exploration programs are at the heart of Permission to Dream 2.0: Pathways to Success. These programs offer students hands-on experience in a range of high-demand fields, providing them with a clear understanding of the skills and qualifications required to succeed. This new initiative will specifically focus on introducing learners to careers that don’t necessarily require a four-year degree but offer significant opportunities for advancement and upward mobility.
The Chris Gardner Foundation’s existing Permission to Dream work in public education has reached over 400 schools and more than 100,000 young people nationwide. Transfr’s VR career exploration and training programming has reached more than 400,000 learners. It is expected that in 2025, Permission to Dream 2.0 will give thousands more the inspiration and opportunity to find new pathways to success.
“Education, exposure and preparation are the keys to economic empowerment and breaking the cycle of poverty. That is why I chose to partner with Transfr, because they are creating pathways to success for our youth and adults. Together, we are giving students not just the permission to dream, but the tools to make those dreams a reality.”
- Chris Gardner, Chief Evangelist at Transfr
