Virtual Reality is quickly becoming training’s greatest ally, and with AI leading the way, it’s revolutionizing employee development—faster, more effective, and truly transforming how we train the workforce of tomorrow.
In today’s episode, we’re joined by Andy Trainor, former Chief Learning Officer at Walmart and now the CEO of SkillsVR North America. Andy takes us behind the scenes of Walmart’s groundbreaking use of Virtual Reality (VR) in Learning and Development (L&D). He explains how VR is not just a trend, but a game-changer, boosting training efficiency and reducing turnover rates. From immersive high-stakes training like active shooter drills to enhancing soft skills and customer service, Andy dives into VR’s practical power.
We also discuss:
