Launching Augmented Reality Training in Community Colleges: Your Guide to Getting Started
"
In a rapidly evolving skill-development landscape, community colleges must stay ahead of technological advancements to serve as innovative economic engines in their regions. To help their communities develop in-demand skills for the quality jobs of the future, community colleges need to embrace groundbreaking augmented reality (AR) training. Foundational AR training equips learners with the skills to create their own AR experiences, teaching them how to build, service, and incorporate AR tools across a wide variety of applications. However, because AR training opportunities are still emerging, many community college leaders might be unsure of where to begin, especially when looking to serve a diverse group of learners, some of whom might be facing systemic barriers in education and the job market.
Jobs for the Future’s (JFF) recent AR pilot partnership with eight community colleges across diverse regions in the United States has revealed a variety of approaches for where to begin AR programming at the college level. We saw four main approaches:
A. Programming exclusively for noncredit learners
B. Wider recruitment through a noncredit offering open to all learners
C. Programming embedded within an existing academic track
D. Collaborative programming by a group of colleges
