Transfr Pilot Program

Bring Career Exploration to Life with Virtual Reality

Maximizing learning and teaching by bringing together the best in people and technology.

Revolutionize Career Exploration with VR

A Unique Partnership

Michigan Virtual and Transfr have joined forces to bring educators and students an extraordinary VR career exploration experience!

Imagine allowing your students to enter a surgeon's operating room, install fiber optic cable, or experience life as a welder—all without leaving the classroom. Virtual reality career exploration allows students to immerse themselves in various professions, inspiring them to envision their futures in ways that traditional career talks or textbooks can't. By integrating VR into education, teachers can provide a safe, engaging, and hands-on approach that makes career exploration accessible and realistic, sparking curiosity and ambition in students and helping them discover pathways they may not have otherwise considered.
