Virtual Reality Training Solutions

Hard Hat VR's passion is to provide immersive training experiences that save lives, reduce downtime, and increase operational performance. Users can digest and retain complex information much faste using VR. All students learn at different paces and in different ways. Some are visual learners, others work best with hands-on stimulation or verbal commands. VR can facilitate these various learning styles and help students excel and retain vital knowledge.

Why VR Training Works

Increases Learning Retention

Reduces Costly Mistakes

Flexible Learning Styles

Increases Engagement

Trackable Results

VR Training for Construction Skills

VR training is proven to help increase employee retention rate to 90.48%. The same study also found that 41.00% fewer errors were made by those trained with VR. This means the gap between the time it takes to implement new employees and procedures effectively closes with VR training.

Hard Hat VR Virtual Reality Construction Training

Construction worldwide is growing, and it is not slowing down anytime soon. By 2060, the world is projected to add 230 billion square meters of buildings—equivalent to the current global building stock. With this much-expected growth in the future, construction companies are scrambling to find ways to train their workforce efficiently in this complex and highly varied field.

Upgrade Workforce

Virtual reality can allow trainers to quickly develop modules where learners can be trained on many skills, safety practices, equipment, or hazardous environments before entering the field. This opportunity will save time, money, and energy as they enhance the workforce with these revolutionary solutions.

Closing the Skills Gap

Closing the gap in current training inefficiencies while making the training fun and interactive through virtual training is an opportunity few construction firms want to miss. Develop an innovative training program by investing in your students' success.

Thorough and efficient training should be at the top of all oil and gas industries’ concerns. With such a large, vital workforce, these industries need to prepare their employees to complete their jobs safely and effectively or run the risk of catastrophic—and sometimes fatal—failure.

A standardized, all-encompassing virtual reality training course can help unite and strengthen the training that these employees deserve. This training can allow companies to simulate mock drills, operator qualifications, annual training, and more. Dangerous and life-threatening emergencies such as oil spills, gas leaks, explosions & fires, and chemical exposure can be recreated in virtual environments, guiding trainees in how to properly and quickly respond to these events if they should occur. Hearing, seeing, and controlling the experience from a realistic first-person perspective will make all the difference in how employees will respond on the job.

Within a virtual reality experience, trainees in off-site locations can execute necessary tasks while being evaluated by a senior training manager back at corporate headquarters, saving time, energy, and money for the company. By bringing your company’s safety training to the forefront, your company itself will thrive

American manufacturing is growing faster than in decades, but a shortage of skilled laborers is stunting its full growth. The decline in trade school graduates over the past few decades has left a gaping hole in potential employees. Job openings remain unfulfilled as companies bend over backward to attract new talent to replace the current aging workforce.

These efforts, while noble, can quickly grow costly because of low labor retention and high turnover rates in the manufacturing industry. Adding in the fact that automation and robotics are replacing positions formerly held by humans, it is even more imperative that positions reserved for humans are filled by talented people.

How can manufacturing companies train new hires in cost-effective, engaging, and interesting ways that will encourage them to work longer in the industry? First, integrate VR training with traditional training—which is often conducted in classrooms or on the production line, taking senior employees away from their jobs. Virtual reality training provides manufacturers with the opportunity to simulate a production line environment before new laborers even hit the floor.

Virtual reality can train fresh hires or assess current employees on product assembly, hazard recognition, equipment handling, and more. Whichever way companies choose to utilize this technology, it holds the key to efficiency and future successes for manufacturers.
