Career Discovery can still take place outside of the Virtual Reality experience. Students can start the process online by taking our Personality Quiz and creating an online profile. They can sign in from multiple devices, meaning their discovery can continue at home, with family and friends or in the classroom.

Schools can use LaunchYourCareer.com as a gateway to access valuable student data and their individual profiles. Through the educator dashboard, you can communicate directly with students, track progress, set tasks, access their destination data, and filter and report the student database.

LaunchYourCareer VR

At LaunchYourCareer we have taken the leap into advancing career guidance and revolutionizing the delivery for educators, making it more relatable and relevant for students by engaging them in exciting technology.

Available to all schools in VIRTUAL REALITY our experience takes young people on a journey of discovery using gamification, and our Virtual Interactive Career Training & Apprenticeship Robot (VICTAR) to show you around!

Increasing student engagement with the subject of careers, and helping them understand the importance of that pathway in line with their learning and academic journey, can support them to make better choices for their future.
