Students will explore careers using Transfr virtual reality headsets. Proper electronic/technology etiquette is expected of all students using the headsets. Improper usage will result in the student being removed from the session. This session is best run in small groups of 4 to 5 students. It is best to have at least 45 minutes to an hour to explore the career modules.
Wi-Fi is needed to use the VR headsets as well as a reliable cell signal as the IU will bring a Wi-Fi hotspot to connect the headsets. A location with ample space for student movement is needed.
Prior to this session, schools will need to distribute the Transfr career interests checklist to students--the list is available at the link below. The checklist provides an overview of all available virtual reality modules on the headsets and helps to familiarize students with the options prior to using the VR headsets. Students will select their top three career interest choices to explore through the VR headsets and mark them on the checklist–please collect once complete and return to the career readiness coordinator on the day of the session.

If additional time remains in the session, students may complete an additional exploration activity. After the session, students will complete reflection questions on the experience.
