Virtual Reality Enhances Job Readiness at SLC  
With a $20,000 grant from the TELUS Ottawa and Eastern Ontario Community Board, through the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation, St. Lawrence College is expanding the Job Readiness Project, leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR) technology to prepare students for high-pressure front-line roles in social and mental health services. This initiative addresses workforce shortages and high attrition rates in the Kingston area, where new graduates face overwhelming challenges transitioning from classroom learning to real-world crises.
