Deployment

Job Interview Workshops

Staff Learning and Development

Beginning with Let’s Talk About Race: Navigating Microaggressions, staff have also been utilising the platform to develop and build their soft skills.

What Surprised You?

Discovering that Bodyswaps was particularly effective for some of our neurodiverse clients
and clients with mental health challenges. Those who process information differently found more success in learning with Bodyswaps. 

The immersive nature of the training was helpful for better conveying knowledge and skill-building

Future Plans

The Regina Work Preparation Center are looking to where they can further integrate Bodyswaps within their programmes, for staff and clients alike.

They’re also looking to expand their partnerships with local institutions as a way of enhancing their VR knowledge and experience that they can offer their clients.
