Transfr

““Students in other classes constantly ask when they’ll get to try Career Exploration because of the VR experience.””

““The mobile and VR experiences ensure students are exploring multiple career paths, not just the ones they initially gravitate toward,””

““But the lesson plans [in Transfr Trek’s Career Exploration Curriculum Resource] have been put together with teachers in mind. I think that’s great.””

““I’m always nervous when implementing new content, especially from outside sources,””

““CTE is about real-world experiences, and the VR headsets provide an exciting way to deliver them.””

““Especially in VR simulations. It’s amazing to see how the technology not only sparks their curiosity but also gives them a clearer vision of what these professions entail.””

““Students really enjoy digging into these career fields,””

““Career and Technical Education is about real-world experiences, and the Transfr Trek VR simulations provide an exciting way to deliver them.””

“One of the challenges of teaching career technical education with limited resources is finding a curriculum that students look forward to learning. The Transfr VR system easily solves this. Students are instantly engaged and tracking their progress is extremely easy to do. This system is definitely a game changer!”

“I’ve loved seeing the kids in our area schools being able to explore careers they may have not known about. Transfr has been great and so accommodating and has given our area great opportunities. I look forward to seeing more of the simulations in the future.”

“VR lets people see exactly how jobs are done — and they’re given step-by-step instructions. It’s a lot more interesting being able to help do the job than just watching.”

“With Transfr, students can explore and learn about “hands-on” jobs that they might be interested in without going into a warehouse to practice stacking boxes and or grinding metal.”

““I think the sims are very critical in this and it sets [participants] apart from others that have not been through this program,” says Mike.”

““They’re not actually running a jackhammer,” Mike explains, “but through the sim, they can see the jackhammer and get the concept of it down—something that we as trades can’t do at that level in a pre-apprenticeship.””

“Transfr Trek’s VR simulations offer an experiential layer that allows students to actively engage with potential careers. Together, they create a holistic career development program that ensures students are well-prepared for their future.”

“It bridges the gap between in-class learning and VR simulations, helping students explore and identify specific career interests before committing to simulations.”

“Hearing about Transfr Trek got me excited for the possibilities. My students now have an opportunity to explore careers in a way that’s fun, engaging, and seamless.”

““With Transfr, everything is in the headset. Learners can do the bridge anywhere, without the expense, the space, or the waste material.””

““I would say, ‘Hey, we need this right now,’ and it was done that moment,” she says. “The support you are able to give us is not very common in colleges or universities.””

““To have the retention be so high was very out of the norm,” Minehan says. “And to have a class that is on task 100% of the time is really not common. This was very exciting for the teacher and for us.””

“That moment saved him from a wrong career path,” he says. “That’s what access does—it gives people clarity.”

“We’re not just preparing people for jobs, we’re helping them rebuild self-belief. That’s the first step to lasting success.”

“VR breaks down the physical and emotional barriers to learning,” says Winkler. “We don’t have to take someone to a worksite—they can explore safely and confidently wherever they are.”

“We don’t have a hard sell,” Michael says. “‘Look how cool Transfr is,’ we say. Don’t you want this for your kids or your adults that you’re sending over to us? And they all do.”

“Our goal is to help those with disabilities get into the workforce or to help prepare them through high school,” says Michael B. Woolley, Executive Director of Easterseals for the Birmingham area. “Can they go to trade school? Can they go to college? What things do they like or dislike?”
