Frequently Asked Questions

Transfr transforms career education by providing immersive, hands-on experiences that let students explore and prepare for real careers. Our platform combines career discovery, virtual job simulations, and skill-building opportunities all in one engaging platform.

Our VR simulations dramatically increase student engagement by making career exploration active and experiential rather than passive.
