Sarah Baker , Chief Learning Officer says : “ In recent years , the training and development paradigm has been impacted by augmented reality technologies and employees can benefit from a significantly more engaging experience . What ’ s more , the nature of AR means sessions can be delivered more flexibly , with many applications being viewed and accessed at any time from a smart device . This allows learners to absorb and revisit the materials at their own pace , whatever their location .”
And , at a time when college and university leavers are more restricted in taking part in work experience or apprenticeships , the technology can be used to show them around workplaces and what it ’ s really like to take that particular job .
Greg Parker from Launch Your Career says : “ Take construction for example . Young adults can put on a headset and be transported to the building site ; or sit on a tower crane or digger in a safe environment . Immersive technology can be used to find out more about the skills needed and how they can prepare themselves for any job – even those that may not exist yet .”
