Ohio Workforce Boards broaden horizons with VR

In Ohio, Transfr is helping build classroom-to-career pathways for the communities they serve. VR simulations empower the team at Ohio Means Jobs Area 15 — and other boards — to help job seekers investigate occupations and build skills without specialized equipment or facilities

Transfr is a new approach to engaging our audience in career exploration and training in real-world simulations. We’re currently working with some of our area businesses… I think this will help our workforce in big ways!

Texas workforce boards lead the way with VR

Workforce Solutions of West Central Texas and Workforce Solutions Coastal Bend are just two of the many Texas workforce development boards leveraging VR to help educate their communities about well-paying jobs.

Transfr is working with our board and has given us the opportunity to go out and do something with it and it’s been a tremendous success. Seeing people’s eyes light up never gets old! The simulations really give you a well-rounded idea of what it’s like to work in that field.

West Alabama Works expands awareness of career options 

West Alabama Works uses Transfr to provide immersive career exploration experiences to 8th and 9th grade students, increasing their capacity to make educated, informed decisions about career paths.

This program is creating 5-star recruits: Teachers are empowered and engaged, students are better qualified and ready for success on day one. Students with a higher academic achievement rate are being attracted to industry — creating leaders of the future — and more kids are staying in the community because of local, well-paying jobs.

WDB Mid-Ohio Valley changes lives in West Virginia 

The Workforce Development Board Mid-Ohio Valley serves nine counties in West Virginia and takes a multifaceted approach to workforce development and has built strong partnerships with Transfr, the Building and Trades Council, and in local high schools.

"Transfr has been an amazing partner from the first call. When we saw what this technology could do, we were very interested in helping skilled trades develop a pipeline that they felt was drying up. Simulation work experience can help people understand the industry and develop skills."
