BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am an Experiential Learning Consultant for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario with.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire UP360?

My primary focus as for Experiential Learning is to support Career Studies and Pathways Planning with a particular focus on promoting the Skilled Trades. We began working with UP360 as they have developed VR tools for exploring the Skilled Trades.

What were your goals for this project?

Our primary goal is to provide opportunities for students to explore potential careers in an immersive environment. As a former Guidance Counsellor, I understand how overwhelming it can be for teenagers when making decisions about potential careers and post-secondary pathways. The tools that UP360 have created have been hugely successful in promoting interest in the Skilled Trades, especially with students who are underrepresented (ie. women and people of colour). As we move forward, we hope to expand the use of VR to include career exploration for other areas (eg.Health Sciences).

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

They were recommended to me by Martha Jez from Microsoft. I met with Harrison and his team on various occasions, had them visit our Career Fair, and then chose to pursue a contract with them.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

UP360 developed VR applications for the Skilled Trades (Welding, Electrical, Robotics Technician, Heavy Equipment Operator, HVAC Technician, Process Engineer, Mining Machine Operator, Mining Engineer, Pipe Fitter, Robotics Welding Operator, and Construction Welding.

What was the team composition?

I worked primarily with Harrison and one of his employees.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

The tools UP360 have developed have provided the most exciting and coolest opportunities for our students! Students are able to explore trades virtually and LOVE IT!!! UP360 has been great to work with -- approachable, supportive, and accessible. I started out knowing virtually nothing about VR, and now I am (with the help of their guidance and patience) facilitating sessions with students and educators to show them the endless opportunities that VR learning provides.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

NA

What did you find most impressive about this company?

UP360 is very good to work with. We love the products and they are extremely accommodating and receptive to feedback.

Are there any areas for improvement?
