Platform
Bodyswaps is an award-winning soft skills training platform on which students can practise and develop their communication, teamwork and leadership skills.
We offer a library of off-the-shelf simulations for students to learn in safe and realistic environments and boost their confidence ahead of entering the professional world.
All simulations are available for VR, PC and mobile in English and French.
How it works
Leveraging virtual reality and AI to allow for self-reflective contextual practice, Bodyswaps' unique learning format gives students at colleges or universities the tools and confidence to apply newly acquired skills in key interactions like job interviews, feedback sessions, or teamwork.

Through the world of virtual reality, students have been able to enhance their confidence and try a unique tech-enhanced approach to employability."
Emma Clarke, Communications & Engagement Manager, University of Liverpool "Bodyswaps opened our eyes to what VR can bring to interview training. This is a game-changer.”
Christel Babinet, Career Coach, HEC Paris “Bodyswaps has been helping SAGE to think through the possibilities of VR for the university market and to push us to think creatively about how to harness the emotional and experiential potential of VR”
Katie Metzler, Head of Methods Innovation, SAGE Publishing "Bodyswaps is an application that allows learners to practice skills that are difficult to replicate in a traditional learning environment. The immersive experience is risk-free, accessible, engaging, and encourages learners to reflect on their own understanding of themselves. It has great potential as an essential learning tool now and in the future."
Michael Avis, Faculty Facilitator & Teaching Technology Coach, George Brown College "Bodyswaps' highly immersive experience is exactly what we need for positive behavioural change at scale by providing a safe space for practicing difficult conversations."
Atish Gonsalves, Global Innovation Director, Humanitarian Leadership Academy "Bodyswaps will help give the folks we work with a chance to have an emotional connection with the skills being taught. This connection will ultimately instill the behaviours and habits necessary to be successful in the workplace."
Kristin Rotas, Program Manager, Viability "Preparing for interviews can be challenging but VR provides an ideal 'safe space' to hone and perfect these essential skills. We’ll soon wonder how we trained for interviews before Bodyswaps."
