Enhancing career adaptability through immersive virtual reality training

Abstract

The integration of Virtual Reality (VR) into career development training offers a transformative approach to enhancing career adaptability, a crucial construct for navigating the challenges of modern professional environments. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of Virtual Reality (VR) career exploration training on career adaptability. Employing a comparative design, data were collected from two groups – one receiving VR training and the other using traditional methods. The results of the study showed a significant positive impact of interactive VR simulations on key aspects of career adaptability. In particular, the use of VR technologies contributed to the improvement of participants' self-esteem, the development of professional knowledge, and the efficiency of goal setting and career planning.
