As many of the most experienced and skilled employees are ready to retire, or will be in the coming decade, turning employers’ focus to how to preserve historical knowledge is key. Knowledge that is not taught in a classroom, but rather through hands-on experience with the benefit of repetition and on the spot feedback. So, how to replicate and preserve decades of experience and knowledge while promoting maximum safety and protecting time and resources?

Kellersohn says virtual reality training is the solution. Listen to this podcast to learn more.

For more in-depth information on what is discussed in the podcast, read Kellersohn’s article on this topic: https://www.ishn.com/articles/113722-immersive-virtual-reality-programs-offer-new-hires-experience-based-training
