Executive Summary:
Technology plays an essential role in providing “an accessible future of work” (Ruh, 2021, n.p). Virtual reality (VR) is a new form of technology that has created new opportunities in the workplace and increased accessibility to training and work experience.
My proposed project, Virtual Futures aims to utilise VR to minimise barriers to career entry for young adults in the UK by offering accessible work experience and entry-level training across a variety of career paths, through immersive and engaging videos and interactive activities. This could vary from experiencing work as a camera operator, setting up rigs and capturing footage, to learning about mechanics and simulating fixing a machine.
Virtual Futures aims to improve users’ employability and ensure that career opportunities are available for everyone.
