Job Simulations through Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality is an interactive and immersive tool for newcomer job seekers. Through virtual reality simulations, we offer our clients an opportunity to simulate an on-site experience to gain first-hand knowledge of various occupations. By virtually seeing, hearing and feeling the different occupations, they learn and explore career options to decide a career path. To facilitate the career discussion, the Employment counsellor observes and assesses the job seekers during the simulation session.
You can use the computers in the resource room to search and apply for jobs and write resumes and cover letters. You can also print documents using the printer available in the resource room.
