The Learning Partnership Announces VR Tours For Take Our Kids To Work Day

Ever wonder what it looks like working behind-the-scenes at a zoo, museum, construction site or TV studio? Would you consider a career as a physiotherapist, a makeup artist, a foreman or a legal adviser?

The Learning Partnership, a charity dedicated to supporting, promoting and advancing publicly funded education in Canada, has launched a series of 360° virtual reality videos to help students explore career opportunities in a variety of fields. The videos take students and teachers on an immersive tour of some of the most fascinating workplaces across the country.

An extension of The Learning Partnership’s Take Our Kids to Work Day, taking place on November 2 this year, the video series is designed to give students a taste of unique and varied work environments as they contemplate future career paths.

Each 360° video can be viewed online via YouTube from any computer with Internet access. Users are also able to experience immersive viewing on their mobile phones using affordable virtual reality headsets such as Google Cardboard.

Take Our Kids to Work Day is the biggest and best known career readiness program in Canada. The use of virtual reality enhances this experiential learning experience and bring unique opportunities to students across the country.
