The Challenge
Designed to target year 7 – 10 students, VIC VICE is a modern solution to growing workforce shortages and a widening skills gap. It aims to do this by unlocking and exposing students to new career opportunities through game-like simulations as well as a panoramic, 360 virtual experience. It was built as a more accessible option to traditional work experience.
The partnership theme was derived from school consultation where:
- 88% of survey respondents indicated specific interest in careers and pathways activities.
- 88% indicated preference for onsite (school-based activities)
- 88% indicated middle years as the student cohort who would benefit from school-industry opportunities and activities.
VIC VICE is also designed to align with Victorian Education Curriculum as VR immersive experiences simulate workplace activities that are found within vocational education training (VET) certificates.
