Solutions for the Challenges Facing Justice-Impacted Programs
Transfr expands career opportunities despite staffing, security, space, and resource constraints in correctional and community-based programs.

Build Scalable Training Without the Safety Risk
Deliver simulation-based technical training in electrical, welding, manufacturing, and construction, with no physical tools, consumables, or exposure to live equipment.

Compress Training Into the Pre-Release Window
Fit industry-aligned skill-building into structured Pre-Employment Programs designed to work inside the 6 to 9 month window before release.

Connect Untapped Talent to In-Demand Careers
Replace idle time with direction. When learners can picture where they are headed, programming gains a sense of purpose and permanence that behavior charts alone cannot create.

Turn Progress Into Proof of Readiness
Document learner progress with measurable skill data that supports release planning, strengthens employer confidence, and helps demonstrate workforce outcomes to funders and community partners.
How Transfr Supports Learners
Learners safely try on different careers in a low-stakes way, discovering what fits and building a plan they can carry into reentry.
More than 300 simulations across eight high-growth industries let learners build career-relevant skills and confidence in a safe environment, with no expensive consumables.
Quickly prepare individuals for workplace or apprenticeship success through structured, 20-hour multimodal programs that build industry-recognized competencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Headsets use a device management program that allows organizations to lock devices to only access Transfr's simulations. They charge in the facility, connect to a restricted network, and comply with facility security regulations. Certain Transfr VR experiences can be temporarily run without WiFi access.
Yes. Transfr supports both justice-impacted youth and adults across juvenile justice, adult corrections, probation, diversion, and community-based reentry programs. Programs can use Transfr before release and continue career exploration and workforce development in the community—helping create continuity as participants move through the justice and reentry continuum.
Securing funding for workforce development and career education programs requires a clear understanding of how different grant sources align with educational and training initiatives. Many funding streams, such as ESSA, Perkins V, WIOA, and 21st Century Community Learning Centers, support career readiness, technical education, and workforce upskilling. Transfr’s Funding Team consists of dedicated experts who specialize in identifying, securing, and managing funding opportunities tailored to your organization’s needs. Learn more about common grants and working with our funding team.
Our VR simulations dramatically increase student engagement by making career exploration active and experiential rather than passive. In a recent study, 75% of middle school and high school students reported that Transfr’s career exploration VR simulations were informative for their career decisions and expressed a desire to pursue further VR training. Beyond engagement, the hands-on nature of VR training helps students build practical skills and confidence before entering the workforce. The platform is particularly effective for kinesthetic learners and students who may struggle with traditional classroom instruction.
Most partners braid funding, combining DOL and WIOA dollars with DOJ Second Chance Act funds and state workforce or corrections-education sources. Transfr's funding team helps with alignment, templated MOUs, and stakeholder mapping.
