Students Explore Future Careers Through Virtual Reality During Career Development Month

As part of our Career Development Month activities, students had the exciting opportunity to use virtual reality (VR) headsets to explore a wide range of career pathways. This immersive experience allowed students to step directly into real-world environments—from performing medical procedures to operating heavy machinery.

Using VR technology, students were able to:

• Experience day-in-the-life scenarios across dozens of professions

• Better understand the skills, responsibilities, and environments associated with each career

• Discover new interests and possibilities they may not have considered before

• Engage with learning in a hands-on, interactive way

The VR sessions were part of our ongoing commitment to helping students develop career awareness and confidence in their future goals. By combining cutting-edge technology with career exploration, we aim to make learning both meaningful and exciting. Students walked away inspired, curious, and more informed about the many opportunities available to them after graduation. We look forward to continuing to bring innovative tools, such as VR, into our career development programming.

Camden Middle School recently had the distinct pleasure of hosting Brookie B's Lemonade, a truly inspiring young individual who embodies the spirit of entrepreneurship, creativity, and community engagement, during Career Development Month.
Brookie, an accomplished entrepreneur, PBS Kids actor, motivational speaker, and author, brought dynamic energy and engaging stories to us from Sheep Harney Elementary School, where they are currently excelling in the 5th grade.
