Throughout the six month programme, over 10,000 learners are expected to trial a range of VR experiences around soft skills such as active listening, giving feedback or answering job interview questions. The content is provided by Bodyswaps, a leading soft skills simulation software. The programme will aim to measure the students' appetite for immersive learning as well as learning performance through behavioral metrics such as decision-making and confidence levels data.

"Our aim is to prepare students to be successful in their careers. With the last few years relying on students adapting to the online world, there has never been a greater demand for self-led development of soft skills. Through VR, students will be able to enhance their confidence and try a unique tech-enhanced approach to employability. We're excited to take part in the programme and be pioneers in paving the future of careers focused immersive education." said Emma Clarke, Communications & Engagement Manager, University of Liverpool
