This tool helps reduce potential concerns from employees and prepares them for a successful in-person experience as they learn about the changes taking place in CSPS locations across the country. As this project progresses, Tech Lab continues to look for other ways to deploy the virtual space for other needs at the School, including for learning content.

This technology offers learners the possibility to experiment situations where they can learn but also apply their knowledge. For example, VR can provide opportunities to experiment simulated immersive situations where soft skills can be applied (e.g., being an actor in a harassment situation or being immerse into history). VR can also simulate situations that would otherwise be to difficult or too dangerous to recreate in real life (e.g., managing emergency situations).<br>
