Transfr Launches Spanish-language virtual reality simulations for career exploration

Transfr has introduced its first Spanish-language career exploration simulations, providing Spanish-speaking students and adult learners access to virtual reality training in a range of high-growth industries. 

The development is designed to reach more than five million Spanish-speaking students in U.S. public schools and additional adult learners in ESL and VESL programmes.

The new VR simulations allow learners to explore roles in sectors such as Solar Technician, Registered Nurse, Semiconductor Manufacturing Technician, and Network Technician. The launch is part of Transfr’s broader efforts to provide access to career exploration tools for Spanish-speaking learners.

Ashlyn Ozment, Career Development Coordinator at Kannapolis Middle School in North Carolina., stated:

“Kannapolis City Schools is experiencing significant growth in its Hispanic population, which now represents 41% of the district,

“With Transfr’s Spanish-language simulations, we can now empower our growing population of Spanish-speaking students to explore and prepare for in-demand careers that offer upward mobility. This is a crucial step in ensuring all of our students have the resources they need to succeed.”

Tools for educators

Transfr has also launched a Career Exploration curriculum resource to help educators integrate VR simulations into their classrooms. Resources include lesson plans, instructional guides, and materials that can be tailored to fit different student needs and schedules.

"Transfr's new curriculum resource contains some of the best-designed instructional guides, lesson plans, and student resources I've ever seen," said Eddie Aldarelli, Superintendent of Edison Township Public Schools in New Jersey. "We've already started to use the resource to help teachers integrate Transfr Career Exploration VR simulations into our existing learning programme – and to better engage students as they identify career pathways that meet their interests."

Expanding career pathways

The new simulations are part of Transfr’s Career Exploration portfolio, which offers pathways into high-demand careers that do not necessarily require a four-year degree. The platform allows learners to explore jobs such as Financial Analyst, Robotics Specialist, CDL Truck Driver, and Radiologic Technologist. 

Transfr offers more than 300 interactive training simulations across 16 career clusters, giving learners a practical understanding of the skills required for these roles.

“More and more Americans need new pathways to upward mobility,” said Bharani Rajakumar, founder and CEO of Transfr.

“This expansion of our VR career exploration catalogue brings new opportunities to educators, learners, and communities who have not previously had access to high-tech tools, training, and support. Transfr will continue to lead the market with solutions to enable the workforce of the future to meet the huge demand for trained workers across emerging and growing industries.”
