The Arkansas Office of Skills Development (AOSD), along with Arkansas Community Colleges, is partnering on a statewide program that is harnessing the power of virtual and augmented reality for career exploration. Through a partnership with economic development platform TRANSFR, the program has helped hundreds of Arkansas residents gain access to hands-on career exploration virtual reality simulations that offer a real-world look into a variety of fast-growing jobs and industries—with plans to reach up to 4,500 more in 2022. “This statewide program is an example of how we can pair innovative technologies with our existing career and technical education resources to help more students prepare for new career horizons—and meet the skilled workforce needs of employers.”
