Using VR to Market Your Academic Program!
As we prepared for our first week of recruiting middle school students to our Early College High School, it dawned on me that we could showcase our school even before students had a chance to visit our campus in person! Although we couldn't bring our workshops to our recruiting events, we could most definitely bring prospective students to our workshops with a virtual tour of our campus. In my current role as a high school assistant principal, I work closely with a P-TECH school, which is a Pathways in Technology Early College High School. Our unique school model focuses on the trade industries and prepares students for careers right out of high school or college. Our classes teach students trade skills such as welding, HVAC, and construction technologies. Students who join our program not only get an abundance of hands-on learning experiences, but they also graduate with certifications in these trades and college hours to boot!
