Registration limited to only 30 seats!
By 2020, nearly half (46 percent) of all U.S. workers will be Millennials (Lynch, 2008). As a talent development professional, what are you doing to engage these learners? Still doing the same lecture and expecting learner’s engagement? Try jazzing up your training by incorporating virtual reality (VR). VR offers an immersive environment that enables all generations of learners to improve skills and change behaviors through realistic practice.
Boingo Wireless has used VR in its teambuilding training to build cross functional communication and stronger relationships. And, VR technologies have become more mainstream. Learning professionals should consider how they can use it in their own organizations.
At this session you will:
- Explore how VR can impact the stages of group development
- Explore how VR can impact global talent development
- Explore how incorporating VR with training will strengthen the talent pipeline
- Discuss ways to incorporate VR into your learning projects
- Discuss the skills gap and how incorporating VR in training can fill it
