GRAHAs VR Newsletter# 53
The World Economic Forum's - Future of Jobs Report 2025 underscores the critical need for continuous learning and adaptation in the face of rapid technological advancements and evolving job roles. The report predicts that a staggering 59% of the worlds workforce will require training by 2030 to remain competitive, which is approximately about 2.12 Billion People.
We've all seen how Gen AI has transformed the entire Tech Ecosystem over the last two years. The rapid pace of growth and advancements have been nothing that we have witnessed in the past and its impact is cascading across Industries & domains.
Upskilling and Reskilling about 60% of the Global Labour Force poses a significant challenge for both businesses and individuals alike. Traditional training methods often prove inadequate in preparing employees for the dynamic and technology-driven jobs of the future. This is where Extended Reality (XR) emerges as a game-changer.
XR encompasses Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). These immersive technologies offer a unique opportunity to create engaging and interactive learning experiences that surpass conventional methods.

Personalized Training: XR allows for customized learning paths that cater to individual needs and skill gaps. This ensures that employees receive targeted training that aligns with their specific job roles and career goals.
Risk-Free Environment: XR provides a safe space for employees to experiment and learn from mistakes without real-world consequences. This is particularly valuable for industries with hazardous work environments or complex procedures.
Accessibility and Scalability: XR training can be accessed remotely, breaking down geographical barriers and making it scalable for large workforces. This is essential for businesses with geographically dispersed teams or limited training resources.
