Driving simulators expand purpose from training to workforce development
Summary
The simulator then attended Nebraska’s large agricultural show Husker Harvest Days before rounding out the year hitting high schools and community colleges around the state for career fairs. “The driver response to simulation training within our operations has been overwhelmingly positive, reflecting a deep appreciation for the technologys role in enhancing their skills and safety awareness,” Cassidy said. “This training is now a cornerstone of our companys culture, with drivers not only expecting it as an integral part of their annual routine but also valuing its contribution to their professional development and safety on the road. Like NTA, Aims’ simulator is housed in a mobile trailer that can be taken to events to offer prospective industry workforce a taste of life behind the wheel. Rubalcaba, who has taken the simulator to high schools, at-risk youth groups, refugee community centers and public events, compared it to a video game, which helps make the career more attractive to younger generations.
