Foundation students at Collyer’s enjoyed a virtual reality employability session this week, utilising the college’s new state of the art Immersive Suite.

After plugging in to the virtual reality headsets and Bodyswaps App, the group were immersed into a ‘workplace scenario’.

The students identified a colleague’s positive use of active listening and made suggestions on how to increase the effectiveness of workplace communication.
