Employee experiences are improved through virtual reality training which increases engagement and drives efficiency, safety, and knowledge transfers, allowing the creation of rich content experiences regardless of the technical level of employee.
Virtual Labs allow for repeated practice after students or employees gain a baseline knowledge through their eLearning curriculum and before training on real equipment.
