Transfr offers turnkey training programs to give learners foundational skills towards specific roles. Our programs are employer-informed, outcomes-driven, and accessible to diverse learner populations.
Here are a few examples of how Workforce Development Boards are using Transfr.
Develop programs for justice-impacted youth and returning citizens that provide essential resources and skills to support reentry and reduce recidivism.
With labor shortages growing, virtual training like Transfr VR sparks youth interest in trades and connects them to real-world paths. Early exposure and VR investment are key to a future-ready workforce.
In rural areas hit by poverty and joblessness, ARC-backed programs are creating hope by connecting people to resources and training. Using VR, communities spark interest in trades like welding, guiding individuals toward real career paths.
