Results and Future Plans
As a result of positive feedback from Job Service employees and clients, Job Service North Dakota decided to expand CareerViewXR access from the initial 4 offices to all 9 across the state in the fall of 2024. With the added access, even more individuals of all ages will be able to explore various industries such as skilled trades, technology, healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, and energy all over the course of a single visit at a workforce center. Advisors from the newly subscribed offices will be outfitted with virtual reality headsets and ready to welcome visitors to give the immersive content a try. “We found the headsets to be a great tool to pick that next career. We look forward to the future of what working with CareerViewXR will bring!” Phil Davis emphasized.
The Job Service team is eager for more field trips to be added to the CareerViewXR library as well. Phil noted “The more occupations we have loaded in the headsets and the more opportunities there are to understand what occupations are out there—especially those that are high wage and high demand— is really going to broaden the horizons of not only our students, but even the adults that come to our workforce centers to look at what opportunities there are in our state. Phil encourages industry leaders to get involved in making new field trips, saying “If a company were to work with CareerViewXR to provide that experience to the everyday user, they are shedding light on their company and industry. By doing that, they’ll have better opportunities in attracting workforce.” We are extremely honored to have Job Service North Dakota as a continued subscriber, helping provide immersive career awareness content to adults and students across the state.
