Bring clarity, capability, and
consistency to your workforce.
(2022) SkillsVR in partnership with the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) have officially kicked off the VR Job Expo program, happening all over Aotearoa New Zealand!
Utilizing the latest innovations in Virtual Reality technology and immersive learning, SkillsVR & MSD are hosting VR Job Expos across the country to facilitate connection between employers and job seekers and make the future of learning accessible to our communities.
The Virtual Reality Job Expo or VR Job Expo is a joint initiative by MSD & SkillsVR, utilizing Virtual Reality technology as an attraction, training, assessment, and skills certification tool to bridge the gap between employers and job seekers all over Aotearoa.
SkillsVR and MSD have shared a long-standing partnership since 2019, creating gamified learning programs and VR training modules for various industries, including Construction, Tourism, Primary Industry, Water Operations, Security, Traffic Management, and many more.
The Expo is a safe and welcoming environment where attendees get to experience all these VR modules at their choosing! Whether they want to learn more about working in Prefabrication, or want to explore the many jobs available in Tourism, immersing themselves in as many as 12 potential work environments gives them a better idea of what kind of work the job entails. This helps them self-assess their affinity for that job. So if they decide kiwifruit picking isn't for them, for example, they can try a different module instead.
Local employers and training organizations also attend the Expo to provide employment information. Sometimes, people get interviews and job offers on the spot!
All in all, the VR Job Expo is a great way to bring the VR modules into service for the community, helping facilitate job seekers' employment journeys in a fun and engaging way.
"The idea is that people might consider an opportunity they hadn’t before, and that they will have a clearer idea of what’s involved in the work." MSD Nelson Regional Commissioner Craig Churchill, Stuff NZ
